Hello everyone!
I am a mother of 4 and happily married to the man of my dreams. My kids range in age from infant to teenager. I have been a student, a single mom, an executive for a major corporation, a stay at home mom, a babysitter, a tutor, and so much more. My favorite job has been being a mom. I am blessed with wonderful children who all have very different personalities and abilities. I have learned so much during my “mom” years and want to share my experiences; the good, the bad, and the zany! So I’ll throw in a few recipes, coupon codes, community events, and more, to try to make this a useful site as well as an entertaining one.
