In a nutshell – I surround myself with books and love to learn! I have a great passion for life and get obsessed with my interests and hobbies. Of course right now I consider my main interest to be homeschooling! I’ve found I totally love to blog, Satori Smiles is the first blog I’ve been really good at updating consistently.

Recently sold my business, Attached to Baby, to a family in Seattle late summer of 2008 so hopefully it will still live on. I’m still spending a few minutes a week selling the rest of my inventory on Baby Sling Outlet. With my new-found freetime, I have been getting into photography and may make a career of it one day. Reading a few hours every night, and enjoying the beautiful Colorado mountains where we live. Married to a wonderful, supportive husband David, we have a beautiful daughter Satori, and are also looking into adoption to welcome another little one in our family.

Both David and I are kinda computer geeks. David works for Deloitte as an IT consultant Manager, and I used to work in the IT consulting industry as well. I’ve worked as a web programmer for companies like Cargill, Big Charts/CBS Marketwatch, Honeywell, Best Buy and more. David’s worked for Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Land O Lakes and more. He continues to work in the industry, traveling some weeks, while I am settling down to be a stay at home mom.

Hmm… Going to add a little more about me. David and I occasionally enjoy playing MMO games (massive multi-player online games), although we have too much going on currently to play anymore. I love them for the social aspects of meeting people and working together, David for the entertainment value. Our first game was Everquest, I started a class website back in 2001, it grew to 15,000 members. I’ve taken it down now, but you can still see it on the Internet Archives – www.EQDiva.com sample page.

I recently got our family into geocaching, that has been a great hobby for us to see little parts of the world we’d never get a chance to see.

You’ll notice I’m shooting pictures almost everyday for this blog, every post has to have a photo! Hopefully that will help me improve, as I’ve only learned photography the fall of 2008.
