: About Me

Although my background is in property management, currently I hold the best job in the world as a stay-at-home-mom to my adorable toddler daughter.  I'm passionate about breastfeeding, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, car seat safety, and the education and nurture of children.  I love to act as a resource to other mothers and I'm active in the SAHM community in the town where we live.  I'm a proud military wife and I've put in nearly five years so far of following my husband where the Air Force sends us.  Other than educating and entertaining my daughter, I also manage our portfolio of rental properties, tutor, and write.  My undergraduate degree is in English and Psychology, and I recently complete my Masters in English with a concentration in Professional Writing.
