A bit about me:

I am 31 years young, I recently graduated from college with a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, and have an almost middle schooler.

I spend my free time sleeping in, roasing fresh coffee, couponing for amazing deals and cooking tasty meals for friends and family.

We share our home with two cooky cats and the neighborhood raccoons.

Come join me and balance your mom life with work and find the serenity to push forward enjoying every moment.

MOBILE MOM- I AM A STAY AT HOME MOM, GO TO WORK MOM, HAVE A LIFE MOM…

Being a mom to me means, I am a mom who blends work, friends, a quirky kiddo with special needs, a husband with a growing business, multiple deadlines, and dinner by six!

I come from Arlington which is North of Seattle, South of Canada, and miles from ordinary.

I enjoy surprising people with life insight, and loveable memories.

I went back to school after a 10 year gap to raise a family. I put myself first and finished my degree. When the economy crashed I studied hard and passed my test to be a bail bonds agent.

Being a mom of a child autism raises the stakes for me. I have to constantly blend patience with love and try and guide him through life's challenges without breaking either of us!

Motherhood has changed me because it taught me that you have more capacity to love than you every thought possible. In the same token, children will monopolize every opportunity to publicly embarass you. Motherhood is a growing experience just as much for the child as it is for the mom. Moms have a great opportunity to make financial decisions that greatly change their family.

Moms have unique buying power and sometimes just realizing the choices we have available to plan for our future is empowering.

Kids have taught me to not take myself so seriously and be genuine with people. They can sniff out dishonesty a mile away. Being an authentic mom is my goal!
