Hi, I'm Candice, and I live in the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of SE Portland. I have a wonderful and handsome husband named Joey, and two beautiful daughters - a 10 yo daughter named Tania and a 2 1/2 yo daughter named Talula. I am an estate planning attorney for families in the Portland area. Basically, I help parents to develop plans that will protect their kids and their assets is anything happens to them, the parents. I am also a member of Mamapreneurs, Inc., a Portland-based group for Mamas who are also entrepreneurs. In my free time, I like to do all of the awesome kid-friendly things that Portland has to offer, like OMSI, Children's Museum, and all of the kid-friendly breweries and coffee shops. (My favorite is Hopworks.) I also like doing things by myself to get my head together, LOL. And, my husband and I make beer, and my family owns a vineyard, so I'm a leetle beet fond of the drink. :)
What about you?

Hello, my name is Jaqui and I am a wife and mother of 3. My family and I live in the Milwaukie area. Yes, we are rocking the suburbs. My husband works for PGE downtown and I am a stay at home mom who sells Tupperware on the side. My kids ages are 8,5 and 2 1/2. Two boys and a girl. We do a lot of out doorsy stuff like hike and geocaching. We take a lot of family bike rides down spring water trail. Basic family stuff. Nothing too exciting to see here :) I also write a "mostly" daily blog. Check it out if you like. I don't sell anything or do giveaways, it's mostly my therapy. http://jaxonfive.blogspot.com

Candice - I really want to meet you in person! Especially now that I know you like OMSI. Uh, I mean, make beer. :-) Maybe an outing to Hopworks is in order?

Hello! My name is Savannah and I am mama to two boys, a toddler and a teenager. I have a wonderfully creative journalist/photographer husband and a somewhat needy big dog. We enjoy romping in nature, watching good movies and connecting with other families in our beloved PDX.
I am a massage therapist and life coach and I work with women who are wanting to create more well being and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. I offer individual sessions and inspiring coaching groups and workshops! I also write a blog for mamas at www.mindfullymothering.com
I love to write (I write short fiction as well as articles), read good books and explore spiritual realms through yoga, mindfulness and the healing arts.

Welcome, Krista! I'm so glad you joined!
Everyone - I haven't yet met Krista in real life, but we've been twitter friends for a while and she is every bit as upbeat and sassy as she sounds in her intro!

Hi PDX Mommas!
I am Rebecca, but everyone calls me Becca and I live in Hillsboro, and my husband works for Intel.
I am a mom, but my son, who is soon to turn 20, lives in a nursing facility in the state of Maine.
Some days, I feel like a psuedo-mom. I know that I am one, but with my child living in a nursing home, I am not really. Not in the way that all of you are.
I am here after an abusive marriage, and a new lease on life and a second chance at life and love and marriage to a great guy.
Right now my husband and I are in the process of clearing all our debt so that we can buy a home in mid 2010. So being fiscally responsible these days is at the top of my priority list.
I hope that I am still welcome to join in here. If you would like to learn more about me you can check out my blog at:

Hi there!
I'm a new twittermom. My name's Suzi. I live in NW PDX near Beaverton. Specifically in Bethany, but no one really knows where that is, anyway! I am the mom of boy/girl 7-year-old twins who are in 2nd grade. They are awesome (if I do say so, myself!). I'm not at all crafty, but am a great cook. We love to hang out at home with our dog and two cats, take nature walks, shop at ethnic markets and spend time with friends. My husband and I own a home-based business (Home Video Studio) and are fairly sure we're not going to get laid off! I'm an active girl scout leader and the hubby does the boy scout thing. I just started blogging and writing on eHow and find it very fulfilling and fun! I am really looking forward to getting to know more local twitter moms!
Suzi
Ruby's and Gus' mom :) :)

Hi Rebecca,
Of course you're welcome! We all have a common thread as Moms, even though all of our experiences have been different. Our hearts are still walking around outside our bodies. I'm glad you have found a way to start your life over.

Hi Suzi,
Thanks for joining! I try to be crafty but am also more of a cook.

Great introductions and thanks for inviting me to join. I'm a mom to two sweet boys - 3 yrs and almost 2 yrs (next month). I work full time doing public relations at Intel. My husband is a commercial builder (primarily medical and dental offices). We live in Lake Oswego and adore the suburbs! I am not crafty (though I do knit occasionally and attempt to sew straight lines for the occasional baby blanket). I also can't cook and therefore we eat out a lot. :) I'm always struggling to find more time in the day to spend with my family and I'm thrilled with the flexibility Intel offers.
Announce yourself!
