Parenting advice I follow:
Be credible to what you say to your kids. Do what you say, say what you mean. It will help shape their character.
Parenting advice I ignore:
Not yelling. I wish I could not yell but it seems my kids have selective hearing and before I resort to yelling, I always ask nicely at least 3 times.

Pretty stressful
Best thing about my job:
I now work from home and wake up each morning in my own bed with my dog greeting me. I love learning new things and I have high hopes for my business.
Worst thing about my job:
Before when I was a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, I flew each sat, sun, mon and sometimes tuesday and spent the rest of the week cramming a week into 3 days. Now I still work weekends and juggle the kids and it's like being back in college:there is always that nagging feeling that you should be working/studying.
My dream job:
This is my dream job. I decide when and how much I work. I just can't wait until I am well compensated for my time.

Go back to school for an MBA

Growing my company so that I can draw a salary. A good salary.

Launching Artimus Art and spreading the word of how to preserve children's artwork.
I kept my name for the first few years then my husband admitted that it bothered him that I never changed it. So I changed it. I was a flight attendant...
