So, I never imagined I would start a blog but as much as I like to write and tell stories it seems right. So with some hesitation here goes...
I'll introduce myself first- my name is Janine, a 30-something stay at home mom. Married to my high school sweet heart (some day I'll post that story) Todd and he is a computer engineer. We have two amazing and sweet kids the older is a blond little Pixie who is very strong willed, generous and bouncy; she's 4. The younger is a towe headed cuddly Monster boy who loves to play Batman right now and is the most polite, and verbal, 2 year old you have ever met. We have a wonderful big blue house with a porch swing and a big back yard in a quiet neighborhood, a dog Princess Buttercup (American Cocker Spaniel) and a newly adopted cat Dust Bunny (nondescript grey street cat.)
Besides all the business of running a home, clothing, feeding, shuttling around, cleaning up after and enjoying a family and home I have a small business as an independent educational consultant with Usborne Books & More. In a previous life I taught Kindergarten, 1st grade and Elementary Spanish for 10 years and books have always been a passion of mine. So now I get to share them with friends, new acquaintances, schools and libraries it's wonderful. You can check out my website at http://www.janinesbooks.com/
So the idea for this website is to post the little stories that come with life but also all the crazy creative things I like to dibble-dabble in. I do some sewing, cooking, cross stitching, scrap booking, gardening, biking, hiking...to name a few of the moments passions.
