Mandie Stevens is founder and co-owner of Taking Time for Mommy. She is a homeschooling mom of 2 girls. When she isn't writing she spends her time at the beach, making crafts, playing in the garden, and reading entirely too much. She has exceptionally little feet and If it were up to her, she'd eat seafood every day.  Her specialties are frugal and natural living. You can also find Mandie hanging out at Mandie's Musings.

Amanda is co-owner of Taking time for Mommy and the mom of 3 teenagers, and she and her dh Jay are vegetarians who have been working from home online since 1999, and homeschooling their girls since 2007. She's an ADD closet hoarder married to a neatnick, so she's constantly working on letting go of clutter and sticking to a schedule. She'll besharing with you her crazy adventures in working and learning from home, being a mom of teens, vegetarianism, weight loss, and even her funky hair colors!

Hey all, my name is Deana Barnhart. I currently live in Kentucky with my husband and two kids (6 and 3). On any given day you can find me behind a computer creating my first novel or sitting there with a blank expression on my face as I try to figure out what my characters next move is going to be . I also devour books as quickly as I can and am happy to share great ones with anyone who wants to hear about them. You can find mindless ramblings about my writing/publishing journey at http://deanabarnhart.blogspot.com , possibly some helpful tidbits for the struggling writer as well.

 Alex LOVEs Led Zepplin and will never get tired of watching The School of Rock (she's seen it about 100 times already and still laughs). she teaches guitar to three awesome kids that look like they belong in a band together. Sushi is her all-time favorite food (as long as there isn't any actual fish in it). She could eat four rolls of that stuff instead of peanut-butter fudge cake and be happier on her birthday! She's also an animal rights activist and an entrepreneur.

I'm Back and I brought a friend

         

             I’m doing the happy dance because

                 I’m back from my sabbatical after my computer crashed. 
I wasn’t sure if I would be coming back because blogging can be so time consuming but I found help! Taking time for Mommy now has a co-owner named Amanda. She’s such a happy positive person. I knew right away that she was the perfect person to work with. We have big plans for Taking Time for Mommy and our Time 4 Mommy Community. So please keep checking back.

     Here is Amanda.......

        Hi, I'm Amanda and I feel incredibly privileged to be a part of the Taking Time for Mommy team!

I'm the mom of 3 teenagers, and my dh Jay and I are vegetarians who have been working from home online since 1999, and homeschooling our girls since 2007. We feel so blessed to have the freedom to work and learn from home as a family.

In addition to "Taking Time for Mommy", work-from-home and homeschooling articles, I'll also be sharing my time management and organization journeys with you lovely ladies. I'm an ADD closet hoarder married to a neatnick, so I'm constantly working on letting go of clutter and sticking to a schedule.

Thanks for taking the time to follow Taking Time for Mommy! Remember to join us on Facebook and at the Time 4 Mommy Community!

I look forward to reading your post comments and sharing with you my crazy adventures in working and learning from home, being a mom of teens, vegetarianism, weight loss, and even my funky hair colors.
