5 Minutes for Mom is having their Ultimate Blog Party 2009 and since I can not pass up a great party – I am here to participate! Many others have participated too, so be sure to check out 5 Minutes For Mom to find out about other bloggers who are participating.
So here is a bit about me – FIRST if you happened upon my blog because of this Blog Party I want to THANK YOU for coming by to learn more about me!
I am a mother of three, married to my soul mate. I am a mommy blogger and full time virtual assistant. I enjoy helping others and I love being a mommy. What better way to incorporate my two favorite things to do than to be a virtual assistant and a mommy blogger?!
My oldest child is 6, my middle child is 2 and my youngest is 7 months. I am very passionate about breastfeeding, however, I don’t say “formula is bad”, because I have fed my two older children formula for 3-10 months. I am currently doing a breastfeeding series each weekend so I hope if you are interested in hearing more about breastfeeding from making the decision to weaning and stories in between that you will please subscribe to my blog today. I also have many breastfeeding and baby product reviews that will be posted during this series, which is SUPER exciting. My series will be via vlog and blog and the end result will be a FREE downloadable e-book to be available on Mothers Day 2009. Again, subscribe to my blog and my weekly newsletter to keep up to date with all my blogging adventures!

Virtual Assistant services came in handy when we needed a press release written. Our work schedules are very busy and that’s definitely not our speciality. The results were terrific.
Yes, spring has finally arrived. I can hear the brisk wind doing damage on our property. Just another windy day in Vegas!
Enjoy your day!

Hi. I’m coming from the party. I was a virtual assistant until my boss got quit one of her jobs and didn’t need an assistant anymore. I did love doing that type of work.
Have fun at the parties. Stop by if you get a chance.
