My journey to motherhood came later in life after my husband, Jeff, and I were married for 10 years. Life changed in an instant when our first son was born and then 20 months later we added another boy! They are now teenagers and best friends (most of the time!). Watching them grow up, learn, experience life, and develop relationships with their own unique personalities and interpretations has been truly amazing. We have a small farm where our boys and nieces learn how to work, care for animals, and be responsible, productive members of society. This experience comes full circle with their participation in 4-H.
I’ve come to Newsymom in the capacity of Partnership Development, bringing with me multiple life experiences in business and people management. I spent the first 15 years of my career as an Innkeeper & Chef (and self-published a cookbook before the world of Pinterest!), followed by working my way up in Sales and Marketing for a small agency in Sugarcreek, Ohio. I love working for a small business owner who truly cares about what’s best for my family, providing the ability to work without compromising my priorities. I also enjoy paving my own new path when an opportunity like partnering with Newsymom arises. The model of placing family first & supporting Moms to cultivate their own interests and independence is great! The icing on the cake is providing a wealth of knowledge to Moms through the work we do!
Life is a great journey; share it, love it, be kind, and know you are never alone.
