About

Welcome everyone!  If you’ve found this blog you are likely a Mom yourself.  Being a Mom is simultaneously rewarding, frustrating, challenging, and the greatest thing you will ever do in your life.  It’s no wonder we all take it so seriously!

I know when I read a blog and plan on going back more than once I like to know a little bit about the person that is writing the blog.  Why are they writing it?  What is their background?  Do they actually have a clue about what they are talking about?  So, without further ado, here are a few things about me:

  • I’m 39 years old and married.
  • My daughter is 14 and a real rebel child.  She’s be loads of trouble - skipping curfew, drinking, smoking, pot - just a few of the challenges I face!  So, yes, you’ll find a fair amount of content on here about teens and the trouble they like to find.
  • My son is 11 and sensitive and funny as hell.  He’s interested in blogging himself so you might see him on here as a guest poster!
  • I work part time as an instructor at a business college.  I teach adults to become Administrative Professionals/Bookkeepers.  For the most part, I really enjoy my day job.
  • I am also a freelance writer.  I write on a variety of topics and you can read my writing blog, A Freelance Life, if you’re interested in making money online through blogging and writing.
  • We live in a city but my goal is to either retire by water (a cottage by a lake or something like that) or buy an RV and travel across the US and Canada
  • I went to University when I was 29 and came just short of getting my degree in Human Ecology with a Family Studies major.  I had to stop going because my relationship with my kids father ended and I couldn’t support myself and the kids and go to school at the same time.
  • I got married a couple of years ago to a great man.  He’s kind and smart and funny.  He suffers from anxiety/panic disorder.
  • I’m creative and entrepreneurial.  My goal over the next 5 years or so is to be able to live from the money I make online.

You’ll find out lots more about me by reading the blog but if you have questions leave a comment and I will add to this section as I answer them.
