Andrea Bates

Andrea Bates is a native New Yorker living in NC who has become quite accustomed to wearing flip flops year-round. A licensed clinical social worker, she spends much of her free time volunteering for organizations that support women in the early stages of motherhood. A natural writer, Andrea can be found sharing the ins and outs of her life on her blog Good Girl Gone Redneck where she opens up about motherhood, mental health, and current events. You'll often find her discussing the latest and greatest book she's read with lists of favorites and refreshingly honest reviews.
