When did I start blogging: I began my platform, MommyTeaches.com on June 1, 2012 but wrote for other online platforms about a year prior to launching my own. I feel like I have been blogging for years though since I have been writing since I was a little girl.

How I see the future of blogging/social media: I see a very bright future for blogging, Content creators and social media because online seems to be the way of life now.

Where I work: I work in my room. My husband created an office in the corner of our room and I love being so close to everything going on in my home. I sit in a chair that was my dad’s in his office and I feel so much closer to him. I also work from my phone wherever I may be.

I am connected….Twenty-four-seven. When I am with my boys’ I limit my access but they pretty much know this is my work.

When I’m stressed, I…..Read or just spend extra time with my boys’. They ease my anxiety and remind me just how great life is.

My favorite travel destination is….My island of Puerto Rico. I get to be with my family and back to my roots.

I do all my shopping….In stores because I despise shopping but I have to see it and touch it first!

My favorite TV shows: Mob Wives, Shades of Blue, and anything on the cooking channel to watch with my oldest boy.

My favorite movie: Finding Forrester

Coffee or tea: Coffee (cafe con leche) hands down but I omitted it out of my diet for over a year, so neither!

I love….My little familia - my husband (high school sweetheart since 1996) since 2002 and my two boys!

I dream about….Living a long & healthy life with my children & husband. Having a best selling children’s book based on children with Asperger’s, and making an impact in the world in someway.
