As a work-at-home mom since my first daughter was born in 2004, I’ve done everything from call center work to building a successful career as a transcriptionist, all with one goal in mind: to be home with my children. Although I started my first blog in 2004 (a typical mommy blog that documented my daily life as a WAHM), I didn’t discover the world of professional blogging – which brought with it incredible writing, new business models and extensive social networks – until 2007.

It didn’t take me long to discover my passion for this form of blogging, from the technical aspects of setting up a blog, playing with the CSS and customizing a standard template to be my own, to the business side of writing for an audience, monetizing my blogs and building a successful business model.

Although I graduated summa cum laude in 2003 from UMUC with a bachelor of science in business administration and a focus in marketing and worked as the office manager, marketing specialist and licensed real estate agent for a successful real estate team during my college years, few of my work-at-home experiences have allowed me to fully utilize my education and skills.

I knew I wanted to combine my passion for staying home with my children with my love for all things business in my role as a work-at-home mom. As an organized, driven and ambitious person, blogging, writing and web development have given me an outlet to combine those things in a way that allows me to prioritize my family, contribute to our household income and use my skills to help others achieve their goals as well.

As a successful blogger myself, I love to help others take their blogs to the next level by helping them with the behind-the-scenes aspects of blogging — from building a beautiful, easy-to-navigate site to completing a long and detailed project.

As a blogger myself, I’ve learned the ropes of working with WordPress, HTML, CSS and more through hands-on experience, research and trial and error.

My project administration work for Deal Seeking Mom has taken this experience to a whole new level as I’ve worked with Tara to make her vision for what has become one of the most popular deal blogs on the internet a reality. My duties include:

:: Brainstorming and consulting on projects and ideas
:: Setup, configuration and management of the Deal Seeking Mom Forums
:: Design and implementation of the coupon database, including working with the programmer on the technical aspects of the database and the training of a database administrator
:: Coordination, design and setup of the gift guide pages
:: Expansion of the Grocery Grab

Additionally, I am the ad director for Simple Living Media, the network developed by Tsh Oxenreider of Simple Mom. In this role, I assist Tsh with marketing and sales, including:

:: Coordination of giveaways and promotions
:: Ad sales and the administration of the ads
:: Responding to media inquiries

I’ve also set up blogs, transferred old posts from Blogger to WordPress, customized CSS and blog layouts, and more.
