I am a work at home mom to 3, My oldest, Alexandra is 20 and currently away at Rutgers University in NJ. She is a dance major and I really miss her when she is not here. My sons are Matthew, 19 and Nicky, 13. Matt is attending our local Community College and Nicky is in 7th grade. I have been married to my hubby for 22 years this year and we dated for 10 before that! We also have 3 cats and probably would have more if it would not mean we were crazy cat people.
I do virtual assistant work when I can get it and I am an Origami Owl team leader. I LOVE being at home and sometimes wish I didn't have to leave it! I live in a very small town that was a mill town, and the mill and homes around it have been turned into apartments and rental homes. I just love it here, which I never thought I would since I was born and raised in NJ and always considered myself a city girl.
I just started back to school at age 51(!) to finish a degree that I started over 30 years ago. I am still trying to decide what to be when I grow up.
I sing with my church's Praise Team and am very involved in our local community theater, having been president for the past 5 years (finally found another sucker...err, person to take over, it was a lot of work and stress!)
I have always been addicted to office supplies, there is not one favorite. I have pens galore and collect note cards and notebooks. I am especially addicted to the Punch Studio Stationery line.
I currently have a desk size planner, Teal. And a Martha Stewart ARC planner that I use for school work. I use a personal size teal ARC planner. And a DayRunner Terramo 5.5 x 8.5 in Purple with a green interior :)
Favorite colors are aqua/teal, purple, and green, but any bright color is good. I love paisleys and damask, can't get enough! I am a pen freak, ~ My favorites are frixon, flair, and inkjoy. I am addicted to smash books, and washi tape, and I just started decorating my planner!
I like Owls (obv), and anything princess-y or tiaras! I LOVE glitter and think everything is better with glitter on it. I like positive quotes and anything having to do with goal setting.
Since I am in school, notepads, page markers, etc are always a good bet.
We have allergies in the house, so nothing from a smoker's home, sorry. Many scents give me a headache but I do use Bath and Body works stuff and Scentsy wax.
The only things I would say I don't like is anything to little kid-ish. I don't get the Hello Kitty thing. I don't like smiley faces, "keep calm" and cartoon-y. Don't really like bugs and wildlife....And yellow, not too fond of yellow.
My family has a eclectic taste in music, nothing is really off limits. I am not crazy about country the most probably....I like the country groups that the country folks don't like (like Big and Rich and Sugarland). My favorite singer is Stevie Nicks, I adore her and always have. We listen to pretty much everything from contemporary stuff to classical. Some of my other favorites are Prince, Steeley Dan, Jimmy Buffett, Mumford and Sons, Train, Living Color, and of course Fleetwood Mac. We also like to just put Pandora on the 70s, 80s, or 90s and let it play. We just love music in our house!
I love to read and often have 3 or more books going at once. My schoolwork has made it difficult to read for fun right now, but I usually have one or two novels and a biography or self help book going depending on what I feel like reading. I like historical romances (but not the Harlequin type), and series of any kind. I like leadership books and Bible study. I also like magazines, from Better Homes and Gardens, to craft magazines, to Reader's Digest. I love the Stephanie Plum series.
I don't get much time to watch movies, but I LOVE Madea.
Again, I don't get too much time for TV, but my son and I watch Big Bang Theory and the Walking Dead together, and I DVR Grey's Anatomy. Scandal, and my absolute favorite, Downton Abbey. I believe I was born 100 years too late and I should have lived then. I also like real crime shows like the First 48 and Snapped.
GAAAAAAAAAAA, everything!! I love papercrafting from card making to scrapbooking and everything in between. I like painting, crocheting, and sewing. Recently I have been doing mostly cards and paper, and mixed media projects.
