Greetings from Colorado!
My name is Audrey. I'm married, celebrated our 17th anniversary a week ago. We have four children (Kaitlen 17, Taylor 16, Brayden 14 and Breanna 11) and we are business owners.
My husband and my brother-in-law own a construction company. That keeps them busy, and I assist with bookkeeping on a part time basis.
I'm an independent distributor for Mia Bella, which has fit my lifestyle and my families for a few years! We have gourmet products from candles to our new line of Mineral Makeup (my girls are one of my top customers lol). It's been very rewarding for us, and it's been an honor to be a part of an amazing company.
I look forward to meeting all of you, learning and sharing with each of you.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Audrey
Hi!
I began this venture when faced with a few challenges ... sooooo I got myself distracted
... I returned to a journal/sketchbook which I used to keep.
The journal included all kinds of sketches, on all types, colors & sizes of (taped) paper. These also included pieces of envelopes, napkins ... a bill for that matter. 'Found paper' for 'visual journalling'.
After a while, I fondly referred to these doodles, sketches & drawings my lemon-t-ZZ , giving much emphasis to the 'z's'. Then, it was a matter of 'attending' to them. They were 'mine' - & they needed to be *'aided' ... nurtured, cherished & taken care of. Now, I'm experimenting & enjoying every minute of it!
My 'journal sketchbook' initially titled lots o' lemons(!!), is now an *ongoing work ...
I make lemontzz-aide for the shop now ;0).
I use facebook, twitter, & myspace so far. You can see some lemontzz aide here (link below), although the store is still in its infancy.

Hello From Maine!
The funding for my position as literacy coach ran out and I found myself for the first time ever anticipating a life without a job! In anticipation of that cut, I began working on an internet site for children. It is going to be formally launched by Thanksgiving.
Basically, it is a site for children just learning to read, English language learners, and struggling readers. I also believe it would be helpful for kids with learning disabilities, autism, and dyslexia.
There are approximately 100 books ranging from preschool through the end of 2nd grade. The books are all completely customizable and downloadable. By customizable, I mean, you can insert pictures of your child, dog, cat, grandmother and so on into the story and change any of the text to match.
Although it is not officially up yet, the prototype version can be viewed and used by going to http://www.cookupbooks.com
These are not story books or read-alouds, they are books to help children learn to read in a way that (hopefully) will really interest them. If anyone has ideas for possible themes for future stories, please let me know!
