Who Am I? Why am I doing what I am doing?

Sounds like the start of some deep philosophical blog post…  Nope, not here.   I’m going to get about as deep as a puddle.  So here goes, this is who I am.   I am an almost *gasp* 40 stay at home mom of two beautiful girls ages 5 1/2 and (almost) 8.  I am married to a younger man…hee hee…  He is a good egg!  He has to be to put up with me!  I think his biggest complaint is that I think too much, about everything!  I could worry about the air and you know, we probably should…pollution and all, but I digress.  Both my girls are in school now and I have been looking for something else to keep me busy.  Would still like a work from home job so contact me if you need the help!  (wink wink)

As for this blog I am starting…  I am hoping to combine a few things I am passionate about to create a valuable resource for other families out there that may be passionate about the same things.  What “things” you ask?  Let me tell you…  First, and I am sure we ALL have this in common, family.  I love my girls and my hubby!  Would love to just spend time with them all the time…well, maybe not ALL the time, but a lot!  Second, I LOVE to travel.  I like to go to new places and places we have been before.  I love to dream of new and exciting adventures.  And third, I really like to save money and get the best deal.  Bet we all have that in common too, well, unless you are Brangelina and you’re reading this, in which case, call me about that work from home job I mentioned earlier, I’m sure there is something I can help you with! Ha!

So there you have it, the shallow answer to the deep philosophical question at the top of this post.  I hope some of you out there will enjoy reading about our past adventures , future plans, and find some of my ideas and tips from trips we have and will take useful as well.  Okay people!  Buckle up, we are traveling!
