Hi my name is Michelle and I live in the great Pacific Northwest, we love the westcoast and all it has to offer. I’m married with one daughter & my hubby who was my high school sweetheart, our 2 dogs Luna and Little Zeus and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers.
I have a Master’s of Arts in Leadership and worked in universities for over 16 years until June 2011. I’m attracted to blogging as I love to write and connect with people for the purposes of sharing experiences, helping each other and building communities of practice in life.
For this last year I’ve been networking and building on my work from home business and so far it’s being going wonderfully for 2013! I’m very lucky that I’m able to work from home now after working outside the home for all my previous work life. Cross fingers I’ll be able to continue to do it. One of my businesses is Fragrances 123 where we sell brand name perfume, scented candles and more. Feel free to contact us directly about any of our products.
My blog is is about connecting, sharing and building community which I’ve been dedicating several hours every day to, I hope it shows 
as we love our readers and connecting. I love to receive comments, and I hope you enjoy my blog.
Our beloved furry family members

I just love following you on your blog. I have been wondering if there is a father or dad blog group out there like there is a mom one. Do you know if there is one or not?
There is one thing I sure do like about your blog which is I can go to it to find most of all the giveaways out there. Thanks very much!
So glad you like it Brad, I don’t know if an specific dad blog groups but many of the “mom” blog groups also welcome dads

Hi Michelle, it’s me again. I am having a difficult time reading the turqouise lettering on your purple background. I hope you’ll consider using a different color for the print. Thanks!
Purple on purple is difficult to read too. Just a suggestion.
I enjoy your blog and all the great giveaways. Thanks for all the time you spend.
Thank you Elaine I really appreciate that
