Three Different Directions: the Spotlight is on Me!

I've always been known as a "talker". From little on I'd share my opinion with anyone who would listen...and many who didn't, lol! If I couldn't find a real human to proclaim my wisdom to, I'd line up my stuffed toys and tell them what I thought! Really did not all these people realize that "Strawberry Shortcake" was a much better toy than "Rainbow Brite"?

Now that I'm all grown up, I still like to share my opinion, but in a less annoying way. No more latching on to legs while people try to shake me off. I have become the go to person in my family when it comes to opinions on products and services, slightly ironic as those were the people with cotton stuffed in their ears when I was younger!

I became somewhat of a geek by necessity when I got married, as my husband's prime entertainment is computers and technology. I also believe that it's genetic! My daughter is also a lover of all things computer, technology and video gaming! With popcorn and nachos I can lure them into the family room on occasion to watch a DVD or play a (gasp) board or card game. Late at night when she should be in bed, the light is showing under the door and if I peek in chances are she's busy drawing her latest creation or writing a new story.

When I'm not homeschooling my delightful teenage daughter, I am a clean freak (really some days I think I need a 12 step program), and I'm always giddy when I find a new cleaning product of sorts. Actually that goes right along with curriculum and books for school as well. It's like Christmas around here when I get to shop for school books and supplies.

So let's see when we're not homeschooling, cleaning, video gaming or sleeping....we're eating (did I mention I love trying new food products? Oh maybe not..okay then, I love trying new food products...). Oh wait I meant to say, we're probably not here.

We're likely in a car, on a plane, or a ship. Traveling is a passion. It has been for me since I was very young. I'm up to 12 on the country count up till now and next year when we take our transatlantic cruise on the Disney Magic next April, it will go up to 15!! Finding new and awesome travel products is a must for our family to get the most out of our vacations.

Phew, if you've read this far, thanks -- now you've learned a little more about me, my family and what I blog about.
