Still on Planet Earth

14. April 2011

Yeah, I’m still here. Posts across all my blogs have been slim. Well, more precisely, non-existent! I haven’t had any free time lately. I have a huge scroll of “Things to Do” on my desk, getting longer and longer by the day. THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who supported my daughter and I [...]

I’m Rebecca

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York in a soon-to-be-renovated 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?!

Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. I love saving money, spending money, gadgets, funny stories, and coffee- lots and lotsofcoffee!! I'm a Christian and I love the good life God has given me! :D You can read all the juicy details about me here. Thanks for visiting!
