    I live in California, 60 years old, disabled, single mom of a 26 year old son who is married and they live with me. Between the 3 of us we have 7 dogs and 11 cats..most of them are not mine. But I could really use the gift cards because pet food is expensive. That’s pretty much me in a nutshell. Fun, huh??

    I am a 29 year old mom from the Pacific Northwest. No, not Seattle 😉 I am married to a very fantastic man, we’re celebrating 10 years together, 7 married on Monther’s Day. NEVER get married on Mother’s Day weekend, by the way lol

    I have two kids, a boy and a girl, who I am homeschooling this year. My husband generously works his butt off so that I can be home with the kids.

    I went through nursing school, worked for a couple years, and am now back home full time. I wouldn’t trade where I am in life for the world. Well, I would trade in my house for one a little more modern/clean. lol I live in the house I lived in when I was born. We bought it from my parents.

    We joke that I sure didn’t get very far in life lol Thank goodness distance isn’t an indicator of success 😉

    my name is Lynn Matthews. im a 30 year old mother of a 2 year old girl who is indeed the light of my life. we live just a few miles from the pacific ocean here on the southern oregon coast.
    my husband and i can hear the sealions at night when we sit on the back deck.
    I am a full time student majoring in Criminal Justice. I want to land a job working with youth as a probation officer.
    My life is peaceful as it can get with a toddler, but let me tall you it was not allways this way.
    Drugs once ruled my life. I traded my youth and a better part of my 20’s for a bag that would bring my family and I so much sorrow. I can never get those years back, but the fact of the matter is I now have a little girl whom is dependant of me to lead her in the right direction. It allmost went bad.
    Today I attend meetings and sponsor other women who have the same problem I have and see them through the steps that saw me to freedom.
    I am hopeful as to be able to help our troubled youth see a better way throgh my own expearences.
    I hope this was encourageiing to someone reading it. i like to encourage.
    I love your blog and I will get to clicking now. thanks for the chance to introduce myself!

    I live in Florida have 1 child. Also have terminal lung cancer which is actually much less trouble than the kid. I love getting your newsletter- you always seem to give me something to think on- thanks for that.I love to read, I have some strong ethical and political notions and I love to cook but I never cook the same thing the same way twice and I almost always change a recipe as I prepare it. I hate exercise,but I love to dance, even all by myself alone. I have a 200 ton captain’s license – sailing- which I am retired from- too dangerous nowadays- too many bad people out there. Had to wear …wear…a gun on my last cruise. I’ve got your back on that Suave thing. Good luck!

    My name is Shawna, I’m 41 & I live in Rancho Cordova, just East of Sacramento, CA. I’m married with 3 kids. My eldest is 19 and lives on her own and my sons are 3 and 6. My youngest is Special Needs as he was born with a rare brain disorder. Both my husband & I work full-time & my Mother-in-law helps to care for our children after school. It is very expensive to live in CA, so I cut coupons and hit sales to make ends meet. I also like to enter contests and blog giveaways.

    My husband & I have been happily married for 33 years he retired from the navy 15 years ago & we moved back to our home town of Tenn is the beautiful mountains. We were childhood sweethearts living 3 houses apart since I was 9 yrs & her 12yrs old, we married at age 17 & 19 and traveled many places with many naval moves with our daughter who is now 28yrs and I watch my only 5yr old grandson each day & get him back & forth to school while my daughter & my wonderful son in law work 35 miles away. I have kept my grandson since he was 2 weeks oold & he is the light of my life. I love to sew and have been a seamstress for 33 years & I love to free hand paint onto anything. I recently became interested in Blogging & I’m hooked I love it! I love the reading reviews and learning ideas from others. And I love to win giveaways for my little grandson when he gets a toy or even clothes it lites up his sweet face. Money & jobs are tight these days so when I can I like to help him with school clothes & the things his mom & dad can’t afford but on holidays or birthdays. My thoughts and prayers are with my family each day as they set off to work and I thank God above for the blessings they are in my long life of 50yrs old. I pray for days of peace & good health to our men & women who serve in any kind of military that the wars will end & people do not have to suffer. My heart goes out to the elderly for I’m half way there now myself in age & I pray for them to be helped & acknowledged. Lend them a hand, a smile, a kind word. Take pride in your children, build them up with self esteem , don’t be too proud to tell them you are sorry when you know you are, for they learn from you. Last but not least love the children in this world, help stop abuse in any way you can, a phone call, donations etc. Put your faith in God and let others see> HIM > IN > YOU.

    I’m 30 and in live in Washington outside of Seattle. I have 2 kids — 3 years and 6 months; both are boys. I’ve been married 6.5 years and we also have two Jack Russell Terriers. I’m a stay-at-home mom but have a Master of Arts in Teaching. Oh a daily basis I’m busy with volunteer work I do with my undergraduate alma mater, my mom’s club, and my sons’ toddler group. I love Starbuck’s hot chocolate and order it in true Seattlite fashion — non-fat hot chocolate, half sweet, no whip. [RANDOM: I love to drink hot tea straight or iced tea sweet.] I really hate the cold but don’t mind the rain. Oh and my dad was in the military so we traveled a lot when I was young, so I consider Wshington my home.

    Hi, my name is Wendy and I’m a 34 year-old mom-to-be. My first child is due in September, and although I’m super-excited (I was diagnosed with “undetermined infertility” before this miracle happened), I’m also a bit (okay, a lot) stressed. My husband and I are both out of work and are about to lose our health insurance. We’re from NYC, but we currently live in PA, where we’re selling a house we can no longer afford to live in. So, my emotions are swinging like a pendulum these days and my life’s a bit of a roller-coaster ride…

    Hope this helps a little. If you need more, just ask, I can go on and on and on…

    I’m a single-again retired lady living in Southern California, within sight of LA. I have a grown musician son of whom I am tremendously proud, a beautiful daughter-in-law who wears many hats in the entertainment industry (when she can get the work), and a super-cute and brilliant 11-year old granddaughter. Small family, but they pack a big wallop. I live on what we retirees love to call a “fixed income” (whatever that means) consisting of Social Security, which is one reason I love entering giveaways: they supplement my cash and allow me to give nice prezzies to my peeps. I followed my son to the West Coast in 1999; we’re originally from New England. Gals my age were in the advance guard of the Women’s Movement and we have the scars to prove it. We also went through the 60s (I loved ’em!) and the Vietnam era, which was all the more horrible to me because before then I’d never believed my classmates could actually die. Anyway, that’s more than enough for now. Sorry you asked? LOL, and keep your chin up, Girl!

    I live in Minneapolis and have no kids. I love the winter and enjoy the snow, but every year around this time, I start dreaming about walking around outside without being bundled up and seeing lakes with free flowing water. My skin is in revolt at the constant dry air and I need some serious help remembering to apply moisturizing products to alleviate my skin problems. I’m married to a wonderful man and someday we may get a dog. But probably no kids. Ever. Because they scream and cry and poop and I can’t even remember to put lotion on my legs.
