I am a work-at-home mother of two. I have homeschooled my children for 8 years. Out of the experiences from this journey came a desire to help other homeschoolers.
I am a single mother trying to work her way off welfare. I no longer live in low-income housing, or receive TANF. My years of experience with living the low-income life has sparked a desire to help others as well. I created a website called The Low-Income Way of Life to help serve this need, and I recently added two blogs to the site: Living the Low-Income Life and Frugal Recipes.
Throughout my adult life, I have tried to take care of myself by finding as many ways to pamper myself as possible. This kept me going through all of the ups and downs in my lifes journey, and has prompted me to create another website, The Pamper Me Site.
I also care for children in my home, full time during the summer months and other school vacations, and part time the rest of the year.
Yes, I am very busy. But I like it that way.
Birth Place: Bangor, ME USA
