Evelyn has survived over twenty years as a working mother and has the stories to prove it. Now that her youngest is twenty-six, she figures Child Protective Services won’t hunt her down as she shares the reality about the exploits of her two sons. She blogs at mylifebetweencoffeeandwine.com when she is not teaching hot yoga to burn off the crazy. She exited the Inc 500 ranked (#25 in 2008) consulting firm she help start in December 2016, and launched a second career as a law firm finance expert and executive coach in 2018, which she still works part-time. She shares her sarcastic view of life on Instagram under SmrtCPA, but you would be well advised not to ask her for help with your taxes. She lives in Angel Fire, New Mexico (after 30 years in Houston, Texas) with her husband Chris and four rescue dogs. She has had her writing syndicated by BLUNTmoms, UncleNomics and Sweatpants & Coffee. She was a winner in the Humor category in the 94th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition (2025) which drew over 3800 entries from 45 countries.
A Personal Note from Evelyn Aucoin aka “Smrtcpa”:
In general there is nothing funny about accountants, but I am the exception. With a passion and unbridled enthusiasm to help parents find the humor in daily situations, I created my blog with the intent to help parents stress less, live in the moment more and spread the perspective that is not just okay to laugh at family situations, it is essential.
I have a deep belief that we all want to default to happy – but we need the catalyst to reset our minds to that state over and over as life, lists, offspring, work (inside / outside the domestic front), idiots in traffic and people in our inner circle move us to less that optimistic states of mind.
I want to fill your mind with references to humor that will help map you back to that spot with better perspective, a more relaxed view of life, and hopefully help you approach each day a littler lighter.
