: About Me

I am a married 35 year old mother of 2 kids who have both been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I have been working for a certified public accountant for 8 years. I worked my way from being the receptionist/secretary to being the office manager during that time. I have a lot of experience with payroll and the various computations there of. I have learned a lot about up-keeping and reorganizing client information for preparation of their tax returns. Recently I have started to learn about affiliate marketing and am looking around at the various opportunities on-line that would allow me to scale my full time job back to a part time job.

I live in Anchorage Alaska, no we don't live in igloos, yes we have a never ending summer of sunlight, the darkest our nights get during the summer (June to mid August) only get as dark as twilight (around 5:30 pm) in Florida. Our winters have been known to get wicked cold (-30 to -40 below zero, this factors in the wind chill) and we had a really cold spring this year. I love the view and it's like no place else as far as people go.
