As a mother of 5, I am driven to get the most out of everything, from money to relationships. My kids are all teenagers or young adults so I tend to be a bit more outspoken and honest with my opinions. I'm not afraid to push the boundaries, and I am hoping this might inspire others to join with me in demanding a better tomorrow.

Many late nights have been spent with my loving husband debating the good, the bad and the ugly of anything and everything. It was his suggestion that I find a way to share my experiences with others. I hope his advice was good advice, because I am acting on it now!

As a visitor here, you are the beginning of what I hope will become a fantastic community. I hope you will comment with the good, the bad, the ugly and the constructive. Your comments and suggestions will inspire me to keep thinking, keep trying and keep writing.

Thank you so much for being part of this community. There are plenty of ways that you can become more involved as we develop on social media, begin sending newsletters and partner with socially responsible, quality driven companies who can handle the truth!
