I am an easy going Southern California wife and mother of two boys. 10 years ago my now husband said lets move to San Diego and get married. Without hesitation I said 'Yes!'
Flash forward: I now have 2 young boys and live in Carlsbad which is nestled right next to the Pacific Ocean. The beauty of the area makes me forget about how atrocious California's politics are.
That aside, I have worked for years in the auto insurance industry as a sales agent. I am excited to be switching to part time at this job so I can hang out with my kids and focus on my internet businesses.
My Dream: Be a Work From Home Mom by doing what I really love which is writing and offering my opinions about various topics.
Come check out my websites which are packed with juicy information about baby product reviews and internet marketing techniques.
