I live in….Southern New England.

My niche is…Lifestyle Blog with a heavy food concentration.

I write when…..My kids are at school or when my son is napping.

How has blogging changed my life: I went to school for teaching and pursued an early career in it. I loved it, but once I had my first daughter I knew I wanted a way to work from home.

A brand I have loved working with: I try to only work with brands I love, but Starbucks and CVS are favorites.

When did I start blogging: I started blogging in March of 2011

How I see the future of blogging/social media: I think blogging has a bright future because so many brands want thoughts and experiences from real people. We are a very relatable outlet that people are influenced by.

Where I work: I blog from my home office which also doubles as my laundry room.

I am connected….24/7! Sometimes it is so bad that I do take small breaks. Put it this way, I hear the infamous dings from Facebook in my sleep!

When I’m stressed, I…..Probably eat my delicious creations way too much!

My favorite gadget is….My iPad. I love that it is functional for emergency blog edits or staying connected to social media.

My favorite travel destination is….I am super afraid of planes, but I would love to go somewhere tropical and relaxing someday.

My favorite clothing brand is…Man, this is sad but it is totally about the Carters and Gymboree clothes these days!

I do all my shopping….On Amazon, Target and Walmart.

My favorite TV shows: Oh gosh, I LOVE Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black, and Shameless.

My favorite movie: My favorite movies are from the 80’s era. I love Neverending Story, Legend, Breakfast Club, License to Drive, Goonies..gosh there are so many!

Coffee or tea: I was a huge coffee girl, but I am recently delving into the world of herbal teas.

I love….My husband and kids!

I dream about….Moving somewhere with an old farmhouse and lots of land.

What else I do: I love to walk, clean, and read beauty magazines.

Causes I've worked with and made a difference via blogging about: I did a piece in 2013 for Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals on How Heroin Robbed a Piece of My Life. It was about how my younger brother went from a football star to jail. It was probably one of the most heartfelt posts I’ve written. I hope I let people in on how drugs don’t just affect the addict, but the family as well. I
