I’ve had the pleasure of working with and meeting face to face with many different brands over the years via events, phone, and conferences.  I enjoy working with brands and value the relationships that are being built.

Working with great online communities such as Mom Bloggers Club, The Motherhood and Mom Central continue to inspire me.   Want to really find out about me and my sweet family?  Head over to the About page.
