When she's not hiding from the camera, she's cooking keto meals for her law enforcement officer husband and three kids, or scaling the mountain of laundry her family continually creates.
Basically, she's a regular trapped-at-home mom, except she's got other people living in her head, demanding she let them out and tell their stories. This is where her enjoyment of the snarky, sarcastic '50's housewife memes began; she only wishes she could be so glamorous when acting as a slave to her home.
Marnie enjoys lonely walks on the RI beaches (when she can get to them--it's a Rhode Island thing) , gardening (but not weeding) and coffee. Lots and -
