- About me:
- I am the Owner and Operator of OurMilkMoney.com. I recently became a WAHM after many exciting years in the Los Angeles Entertainment industry. First as a singer/actor, and then at Disney/ABC. When I became a mom, all of my ambitions changed. My biggest passion right now is finding ways to help support all the self-employed parents across the country, and educating consumers on the value of purchasing from a self-employed parent. My company was founded on that principle and I believe in what I am trying to accomplish. I stay true to my roots as a musical theatre performer by teaching musical theatre to little girls ages 6-11.
- My interests:
- I still love to sing and perform. I am a TV nut and that comes from years of working in the executive office of ABC. I am a puzzle junkee (geek) obsessing over crosswords and riddles (the ones that last a few days). I love a good laugh. Just giggling the night away with my family, or a night out with my girlfriends is heaven to me.
- My website/blog:
- http://www.ourmilkmoney.com www.zarstardesigns.com
- How I de-stress:
- a crossword puzzle, sing some music and drink a glass wine. I have wine a little more often now that I am working at home. (Hmmmm) I also make jewelry... just a small business I run on the side, but I do it more for me than to bring in an income. It's the best way to unwind and clear my head. I swear, I've forgiven more people in my life while making jewelry than therapy ever could have done!
- Best advice I've gotten:
- Sandra Beck from Motherhoodincorporated.com told me NEVER EVER apologize for your kids when conducting business on the phone. So they may yell, or take you away from the phone for a minute, but that is the way it is, and it should not reflect on you as a professional. I loved hearing that, because I really believed her in that moment that if all moms conducted themselves that way, we'd truly be running the country one day very soon (wink).
- Adjective to describe me:
- Only one? Bubbly.
- My favorite book:
- This Much I Know is True - by Wally Lamb
- My favorite movie:
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

My Life To-Do List
-
Currently on my Life Wish List:
To stop living off our savings and start bringing in an income from my business idea. I am not worried. We will!
Also, I am planning on getting pregnant again- this time it will not take us 2 years, and it will stick, stick stick!!
I want a big house with a yard! -
Goals I am working on:
Spreading the idea around about OurMilkMoney.com and helping others get used to the concept of making purchases from only each other. Whatever you need, somewhere out there is a parent selling it. Wouldn't you rather buy it from them? My goal is to find everyone of them so that YOU can too.
