: About Me

 I have always loved to write. I have been through a lot of experiences in my life and I have been able to learn from each experience.  As life goes on, so do the experiences, thus more knowledge and wisdom.  I currently write on Examiner.com as Charlotte Budget Fashion Examiner.

My husband and I are raising 3 children together.  Two of them are from his first marriage but I feel the same love and responsibility for all three.

I choose conversation and drinks over dancing at the club. I choose books and video games over movies and television. I choose cats and parrots over dogs and spiders. I choose life over death. I like pretty things. I have many acquaintances and few friends. I am a neat freak. I don't know what I would do without meds and sunshine. My mother is my best friend. I would rather give than receive. I am always thankful when I do receive. Love comes in many forms and I am trying to learn about them all.
