About Me
A major event in my life was:
When our youngest son was 3, he fell off a golf cart (that our other son was driving) and hit his head in our driveway. He had a brain bleed and we didn't know it. He almost died. He spent a week in the PICU after the emergency neurosurgery. Our family has never been the same since. Once you go through an event like that, it changes your perspective on everything. http://www.farmbarbie.com/kids/2013/12/7/an-unfortunate-event
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
Aside from having children, creating Farm Barbie is my greatest achievement. The success of my "brand" is due entirely to my hard work, dedication, critical investments, and my own intelligence. Farm Barbie's following is growing more every day and I'm so proud of all the people that are taking a chance on me and loving what I have to say.
An embarrassing story about me was:
I said something super stupid when I was about 20 years old, about my friend (a girl) being in a relationship with another girl. I have no idea why I said it. It just came out. I don't care who people love, so I wish I could take that back. Our friendship has never been the same since. Now she's married to a great guy, a Marine and they have a beautiful baby boy. It's still not ok.
My favorite Movie:
National Treasure movies
My favorite TV Show:
Cops shows like Blue Bloods, Shades of Blue, Rookie Blue
My best Physical Trait is:
Pretty hair, eyes, face
Topics off limit to me at a party are:
My health issues. I don't want to talk about all the surgeries I've had.
Do I have tattoos or piercings:
I have a tattoo of our son's head scar on my right forearm. It's right where I can always see it, and be reminded just how lucky we are to still have him alive. http://www.farmbarbie.com/a-day-in-the-life/i-have-been-scarred-too?rq=scar I also have a crab on my foot and the cancer sign on my lower back (I'm a Cancer)
The weirdest thing about me is:
I'm in social media but I'm actually an introvert.
My friends would say my best qualities are:
I'm an excellent writer and communicator. I can make people feel comfortable quickly. I have a demanding presence. People respect me because I walk into a room like I own it.
My friends would say my worst qualities are:
Maybe I'm a little too vain? I think I'm pretty and I know when people notice me. I don't think I'm arrogant though, it's just a fact. I'm good looking. I can't help that.
The personality traits I most like about myself are:
I'm an excellent mom and wife. I'm empathetic with other people. I'm thoughtful, I send gifts/cards/etc to people for the randomest things just to make them happy. I like to donate/send gifts anonymously because I don't want the credit I just want them to have the item/money/gift.
The personality traits I like least about myself are:
None. I love myself. I think I'm awesome.
Miscellaneous Information:
I'm a great mom and I wrote a parenting guide. I think American moms really need my parenting guide because there are way too many brats out there. These Moms just need a little help and guidance! http://www.farmbarbie.com/rules-for-parents-download Also, I have a great faith but a real problem with church. I grew up Catholic, my husband is Catholic, and we send our kids to catechism classes but I do not go to church often. I have issue with all the pomp of the mass.
