Introducing...Me

{My husband, Cameron, and I}

Born and raised in Iowa, I left the corn-state (which I love) to attend Taylor University in Indiana. In 1996 I met my future husband, Cameron on a blind date. In 2000 I graduated in with a BA in Social Work and Political Science. We were married two months later.

After settling in Nashville, Tennessee, where my husband was raised, I was hired as a Child Counselor. This position involved working closely with foster parents and troubled foster children (aged from babies to 17-year-olds) with a wide variety of physical and emotional issues.

I loved my job and loved my foster kids. Cameron and I are praying that soon we will be able to sponsor our own foster children, eventually adopting them into our family permanently.

My second, Elena Marie, was born on March 3, 2007. Her two dimples just blow me away with sweetness. She adores her older sister and thinks everything she does is hilarious. She's tender-hearted and loves to cuddle.

You can see a brief slideshow of my two precious princesses on the home page, here.

My third...well...hopefully someday!

Why a Website?

Every one of them expressed feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by too many choices and not enough information. (One even left in tears!)

As I provided that "moral support" to my friends braving the newborn-consumer market, I was struck by their common need for reassurance and encouragement.

This, and my own need for "infant re-education" (I was expecting my 2nd) inspired me to develop this website. It had been three years since my last infant and I was feeling rusty.

Several months later I had an income-producing, self-helping, friend-making website!

This may surprise you, but until May 2006, I was an Internet-Imbecile. I didn't feel competent enough to join chats or forums. Google was the extent of my web-pertise.

Cameron and I both wanted me to stay at home. We also knew that bringing in a little money would lighten our financial burdens and enable us to save for future major purchases (like a mini-van!).

Site Build It! gave me all the education and tools I needed to launch this work-from-home enterprise. So, after some careful research, we took the plunge.

That was the beginning of The Essential Infant Resource for Moms. SBI has provided everything I need to develop and market this website. I am continually blown away from the knowledge and resources they give me to do this.
