I am a slightly neurotic (honestly, meds don't help) mother of two boys that are 17 months apart living in suburban bliss.
Prior to raising my family, I spent over ten years as a business owner. I specialize in consulting services that include but are not limited to creating marketing and business plans as well as writing, editing, and proofing many forms writing. I work from home to spend time with family; I tend to work more at night than during the day.
I am trying to fix the neurosis I caused my first born and can't wait for my second born to drive him crazy!

So I am a little late on the new year resolutions but better late than never I suppose. I started working out with some family and friends last week and decided to throw in another test of my self control. As if getting up at 5:30 in the morning isn...
