| Introduction | Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bibliophile, Literacy Advocate, Etiquette Enthusiast, Efficiency Geek, Green and Simple. I was a typical "Corporate Sally" in a management position in the corporate office of a major national company with a bright career opportunities in my future. With my first child's birth and its impact on me, I was brought to a place I never imagined. Home. The transition from "Corporate Sally" to "Homemaker" was more challenging than any college class or office assignment/situation. I found that most of my peers either had older children or no children. I had to really tune in to decipher what tools and techniques would be best for my family and me to have the sweetest and most fulfilling lives possible. How grateful I am for the rewarding experience of making the transition and enhancing lives and helping to solve problems that affect the lives of my loved ones everyday. I don't know it all.But, I pretty much always have an idea or opinion. |
