My Tags: adoption social worker author mom telecommuter web entrepreneur writer
About Me: I'm a work-at-home mom with two great children and fantastic husband. I telecommute part-time as a contract adoption social worker and run several websites and blogs for online income. I'm the author of The Career Woman's Guide to Work-At-Home Success due out in 2009 by Adams Media. I'd like to add fiction writer as well ... when I can find the time.
My interests: I like to read. JD Robb, Jennifer Crusie and Janet Evanovich are my favorites. I also like to watch tv and listen to music. I like to scrapbook when I have the time and space.
My website/blog: http://www.workathomesuccess.com http://www.the-pajama-mama.com http://www.workathomescamprevention.com
How I de-stress: Hot bath! Or go by myself to a coffee or book joint to read and sip strong decaf coffee.
Best advice I've gotten: Keep on keeping on.
An adjective to describe me: Caring (according to my son).
My favorite book: Yikes. Thats hard. I loved to Kill A Mockingbird. But the first JD Robb book is a favorite as well.
My favorite movie: Another hard question. I love Indiana Jones, The Big Easy, Harry Potter, You Got Mail....
