I'm a single mom to 2 boys and a dog named Falco (Falco is the best-behaved some days;). I work out of my home office in the middle of nowhere, Mississippi with http://ThereForOurKids.com. I LOVE what I do and that I get to help other families work from home too.

I'm also passionate about helping families bring wellness home on any budget; there's a great video at http://BeWiseShopSafe.com that explains how!

Today, I am so grateful to say that I get to schedule my work around my children and their activities, and I don't have to schedule my kids around a job. It was important to me to stay home with my kids, even when I became the only income. Both of my boys have high functioning Autism and my oldest also has ADHD, and a history of severe asthma, and allergies. But more importantly, they are both bright, beautiful, happy little boys who remind me every day how precious life is and what a privilege it is to be their mom.

I volunteer whenever I can with ADDA (add.org) and I'm always happy to talk to other autism parents. I strive to bring hope & encouragement to other adults with ADHD as well as to the parents of children who have autism. I believe everyone's story matters, and I hope that by sharing my experiences and the lessons I've learned along the way will inspire or help others in some small way.

Serving in our churches children's ministry also brings great me joy. I'm excited to see what God has in store for myself and these rowdy little boys in the seasons ahead of us.

Ok, if you're still reading this ~Thanks! Here are a few fun facts about me:

I'm 6'2" and I love my height!

I love to remodel and build things with my Dad...most recently we built an amazing treehouse for my boys.

I'd rather be outside most of the time.

I'm a natural blond and cannot tan...I burn to varying degrees but never really get a suntan...so sunscreen, and I are old friends.
