About Sonya

I am a stay at home mom of two amazing boys.  Colby (6) and Caden (4).  I have been married for 11 years to my high school sweetheart, Brandon.  I decided that once I became a mom, work was not that important....so, here I am, 6 + years later and wondering if I will really want to go back to work outside the home?  

For "girl time" I enjoy bible studies, hanging out wtih my MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) friends and playdates with the same friends.  I also began my Mary Kay business, 5 years ago...wow~time does fly!  In my "other life" I wore a few differnt hats...I waited tables in high school and into my Jr. College years, worked as a secretary for a brief time until I purchased a hair and nail salon at the age of 20.  I was/still am a California licensed manicurist - this paid for college and I made a lot of great friends in this time.  Once I graduated from college, I went to work with the Dept. of Human Services.  I also enjoyed this challenging work....but, family was most important! 

I was born and raised in Bakersfield, and think it's a great place to raise kids....as long as the air gets cleaner!  I never gave it a second thought until my youngest developed asthma due to allergies.  Running the boys around and taking care of the household keeps me busy.....I am anxious to begin volunteering in Colby's first grade class this year!  And Caden is anxiously awaiting his first day back in preschool at SCNS - a great Parent Participation Co-op with a fantastic teacher!  It's hard to believe this is our last year at SCNS....then Caden begins his much anticipated scholastic career at O.D.E. as a Kindergartener!

I'm living to be at least 120, so middle aged doesn't start until at least 60.  Oh yeah. Read More >>

Yeah, I know what you mean. My niece has chronic bronchitis and asthma and my youngest has had some problems too, though thankfully not too chronic. I remember as a kid asthma was this unusual thing, and now it seems like every other kid has it!! Oregon would be nice, though my friend in Ashland says it's hot there too..oh, but green and clean! Ha! I hate that we can't even go outside in the summer because of the heat and the air. I wish I could collectively get everyone I know to relocate with me! I'm sitting here sweating as I write, since there's no vent in my dining room. Ugh! Another day in paradise!!
