Hmmm, I seem to be in the minority here, but I do find full-time SAHM life boring. Busy? Of course. But especially mentally, I do get bored. And even with a growing home business I feel like I'm boring to other people. I *can* talk about all kinds...

I use photoshop element mainly to retouch pictures and create some cute effects, sometimes I use the online piknik too, but I am in love with the free online Studio Software offered by Heritage Makers. It is so intuitive, you are not dealing with ...

I have tried so many software programs, that I cant remember, and I honestly think the very best I have found is Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus. I love this progam so much that it is the sole reason I decided to become a consultant.

I would love to go but am thinking it's probably not likely since I'm already going to both Quilt Markets this year (I did just Fall QM last year). I'd love to hit up Chicago, though. We went there on vacation two years ago and I totally fell in l...

A little about yourself...

I'm a mom of 3 boys who works from home as a virtual assistant. My boys are ages 7, 4 and 1. I love blog about being a work at home mom and about my boys of course! I'm planning to spend 2009 focusing on growing my virtual assistant business, and growing my mom blogger network. I'll be attending BlogHer 09 in Chicago this summer and hope to meet some of you there!

What kinds of things do you typically Twitter about?

Being a mom, books I like, getting healthy, working at home, my virtual assistant business, etc

What are your areas of interest?

mommyhood, business, blogging, technology, social media, twitter, work-at-home, green living, fitness, weight loss, writing, law

My work

I also Twitter @halosecretarial because I found my mom tweets and my business tweets were confusing me! And there are definitely people who follow me who want to keep it more business so it's easier to keep things somewhat separated!

I have a virtual assistant business, specializing in legal work. I worked as a legal assistant and paralegal for over 10 years before starting my VA business. I loved my work (most of the time, lol!) but wanted more flexibility in my days and more challenge in the actual work. Now I have the best of both worlds, at least most of the time. It's not always easy working at home, but I love it!

BlogHer/Chicago In Real Life in 2009

So I definitely want to try and attend BlogHer next summer in Chicago. Chicago is a city DH and I had wanted to visit anyway, so we're talking about making it a family trip, but we'll have to see, it's a long drive (26 hours approx) OR fairly expensive plane tickets, and then it would probably just be me going. DH and I have long-standing plans to take a big "alone" trip next fall to New York, for our 10 year anniversary, so that's the priority for travel. I really want to do both though!!

My Don't Need List

I'm feeling inspired after reading Mina and Katie's posts about what they don't need. It can be so freeing to recognize what things we can let go of! So here's my don't need list:

I don't need chocolate so often - I need to make it a once a week or even every other week treat. Better for my waistline and my wallet!… Continue
