About Me

Hi there, I’m Dawn–Mom to two kids, ages 11 and 17 (he’s almost a man but he’ll always be my kid). I live in gorgeous – it never, err.. hardly rains in Southern California – San Diego with my husband, our kids and the beach in my backyard (a short drive away that is). I’m a techie geek by day for a great technology company – I’ve been in IT for over 15 years and I’ve worked for some great companies like Microsoft, NCR, and Qualcomm. By night and weekends I’m a jack of all trades to my kids and husband, a part-time student (working towards my Bachelors in Psychology), a published writer, a crafter, and a food lover. On the weekends you’ll find me crafting (canvas and mixed media art, mosaics, polymer clay), cooking, doing homework, and occasionally venturing out into the world for adventure. I also happen to have Rheumatoid Arthritis so you’ll find me blogging about that as well – there are alot of us out there dealing with this, and it’s a daily journey of learning, adapting, coping, and overcoming.

My intention with this blog is to share my journeys as a busy mom – offering my ramblings about life, hacks for saving time around the house, tips and inspiration on juggling it all, my journey to a healthier lifestyle, my successes and downfalls with new kitchen and craft gadgets and time-saving methods, and the craziness in-between. Welcome, take a look around and don’t be afraid to say hi and introduce yourself! If you’d like to send me a message, you can do so below – I love feedback and connecting with you all!
