Name- Jan
What I do for a living- First and foremost, I'm a doting mommy of a kindergartner and a 2-year-old, and a proud wife of a USAF F-16 fighter pilot! In my pre-children life, I was the Communications Manager for Lifetime Products, doing what Katie now does. But, once you're a Lifetime fan, you're hooked! So, after a few years of hiatus, I'm now a WAHM and am happily back on board at Lifetime doing freelance PR and marketing work as their social media manager. In addition to blogging for Lifetime, you can follow and chat with me on Lifetime's Twitter account @Lifetime365 and on the Lifetime Products Facebook page!
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, emarketer.com, allrecipes.com.
