Raising Bakersfield

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!
