Name- Jan
What I do for a living- In my pre-children life, I was the Communications Coordinator for Lifetime Products doing what Katie now does. I do still squeeze in a little freelance marketing and PR work in between focusing on my main jobs of being a doting mommy of a kindergartner and a 2-year-old and a proud wife of a USAF F-16 fighter pilot!
Topics I blog about- Kids Parties, Community Activities, Home Organization, Inspiring Stories
My favorite products from Lifetime- 4x2 Table, 30” Personal Table, Chair, and Wheelbarrow. Although, our Shed and Yard Cart are pretty close favorites too!
On a Saturday afternoon you can find me- I used to quickly answer this question with answers like snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, and rollerblading. Now, as crazy as it may sound, I relish simply being able to catch up on computer work, and clean and organize the house while my hubby is home to help out with the kiddos. After a little productive time tackling my “to do” list (which by the way, I LOVE lists!), we’ll usually try to do a fun, family-oriented activity like swimming, visiting parks, riding bikes, or tubing the river.
My favorite escape- Oooh, that’s a tough one. It completely depends on the type of day I’ve had. Honestly, organizing (anything… closets, cupboards, files, toys) is a great stress reliever for me. I know it’s pathetic, but I’m also a huge reality TV junkie.
I love entertaining and having couples over for dinner and games…although I tend to be quite competitive which isn’t always a good thing! But, if I need to truly escape and unwind after a rough day with the kids, a massage, some retail therapy at the outlets, or going out with my girlfriends is always perfect spontaneous pampering!
Other blogs/websites I can’t get enough of- Friends’ personal blogs…since we are in the military, we have friends stationed all over the world. I love being able to peek at their adventures and keep up-to-date with their families. about.com, badcomm.blogspot.com, allrecipes.com.
