Introduction

Welcome to Once Upon a Mom's life. I thought it was pretty cool that my friend Cindy started her own blog so I checked out how to create my own and here I am. This blog will probably just be for friends and family who may be interested in what I have to say, or not. :)

I'm a mom who is about to embark on a new milestone. Turning 40 years old in June. Gosh to even type 40 years old snaps me back into reality that this is probably what is considered mid-life if I God willing live to be 80+ years old.

A little bit about me: I received my Ph.D. in Corporate Leaderhip in 2001 when I was almost 32 years of age and 9 months pregnant with my daughter. I realized what Braxton Hicks contractions were when they started in the auditorium as we were waiting receive our degrees. I thought "please not today" and 16 days later we were blessed with a healthy baby girl.

In any event, since then, I've gladly devoted my time to being a mother first and volunteering my time at school and in the community. I do teach part-time and develop online course curriculum for business and management classes for undergrad, MBA, and doctoral classes.

I feel that my life is enriched and live a happy life with my husband and daughter. I still feel there is more to do, so perhaps this blog can serve as my writing to myself and if anyone else would like to read it then I welcome the company.

Thank you!
