More About Me

I spent more than ten years in sales in a call center for an international mail order computer products company. I haven’t been in that field for a good number of years now and I don’t miss it at all. I also spent several years as a medical biller, another job that I do not miss.

I spent a number of years as an office administrator, which I enjoyed quite a bit. During this time I also became certified in Microsoft Office. I have spent time in recent years as an adult instructor, teaching basic computer skills and how to use the Office suite, as well as leading creative cooking classes on how to use an electric pressure cooker or air fryer.

These are a few of my favorite things.

I’m a cat lover. Especially seal point Himalayan cats and Siamese cats. My avatar on many sites is a pair of Himalayan cats I had a while back.

I love to drive. I love cars, something I got from my Dad. Ever since I was a young girl we would drive through lots looking at cars, as well as sharing in the wonder of seeing certain antiques and classics on the road now.

I love music. Lots of different stuff, but mainly rock. My favorite bands are Bullet For My Valentine, Papa Roach, and Palisades. Other favorites include Hinder, Motley Crue, AC/DC, and Oleander. I listen to music a lot, either on Sirius XM satellite radio or streaming.

I love to watch television.

I love to read. Some favorite authors are JK Rowling, Piers Anthony, Jonathan Kellerman, Faye Kellerman, Patricia Cornwall and VC Andrews. I got my love of reading from my Mom, who shares many books with me to this day.

What do I share on this site?

As a busy mom of 2 boys, I appreciate things that save me time, effort or money. I appreciate them even more when they save me more than one of those things. I love to try new things. I enjoy sharing new finds for the family, ranging from that backpack you can’t kill to the tech you can’t live without and everywhere in between.

I am thrilled to have worked with many companies including Ford, Hellmann’s, Ragu, Johnsonville Sausage, Sara Lee, Oscar Mayer, Betty Crocker, Wonder, Tyson, Rubbermaid and more.

Disclosure. I will disclose if product and/or compensation has been received in order to facilitate a post. The fact that I may have been compensated does not impact what I write. What you read is my real opinion. My opinion cannot be bought.

I hope you enjoy the site.
