Hi, I’m Crystal. Welcome to my About Me page. If you’re like me then you’re here because you are snoopy and you want to excuse yourself to my restroom so you can discretely paw through my medicine cabinet and take secret pictures of my OPI collection. Well, Snoopy McSnooperson, this is my virtual medicine cabinet – so here is a little about me. In some ways I am experienced in life. I was with my first husband for over 10 years, married for 6 of those and dragged down in the mud with his drug addiction. I was a single, working mom. I’ve been a professional and I’ve faked being professional. I’ve been to college, I’ve dropped out of college. In some ways I am very new at this. I’m newly married to a wonderful and supportive husband. (What is this partnership thing and why didn’t I know about it before??) We are new to blending our family and I haven’t been pregnant in 7 years, so it seems like that is all new again, too. We are struggling to keep me a stay at home mom for at least a little while and in the midst of that I am struggling to affirm that my self worth can be measured in clean floors and happy children instead of paychecks and bonuses. This blog is me fighting to realize my dream to be a writer. It is meant to be family friendly; without swearing and pleas for alcohol, while still being open and honest with a twist of humor. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading these posts and would love to hear from you. You can leave a comment or reach me by email (There is a letter icon in the right side bar that will link to my address). Like what you just saw? Like me? Prove it!
