I have never purchased shoes online. I’ve been too afraid. I’m pretty fussy about my shoes, and prefer to try them on first. I wish there was a bit more consistency among sizes.

When you search for a product on Pikimal, you can sort, filter, set preferences and get reviews on the best product [...]

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!
