Discussion on introductions

[Kelli]

I'm Kelli, co-founder of OurMilkMoney. I have 2 little boys and
another on the way! I attended the University of Georgia and FIDM, San
Francisco. I am somewhat of an 'expert' on all things travel related
(especially traveling with kids,) color (I can can pick winning
colors on just about anything,)
My goals this year are to finally learn Italian, and to not be scared
of html codes! My 2 favorite places are: a foreign country, doesn't
matter which one, and a beautiful paperie, (I can spend hours in a
paper shop.)

Hi everyone! I am the mother of two, ages 6 and 8. I am originally
from Chicago, but have now lived in Tucson 16 years. Almost half of my
life! I work part-time as a Counselor at the AZ School for the Deaf &
Blind. I am also an Independent Consultant with Arbonne International.
After two years of being a loyal consumer (my husband may use the term
obsessed) and being so impressed with the integrity of the company and
my team, I have decided to work towards earning my income from them.
If you're not familiar with Arbonne, they are a 28 year old company
that specializes in skin care, color, weight loss and nutrition
products for the whole family. (That's another funny thing, I was
never into skin care until I started using these products!)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and supporting
OMM's mission! :)

Hey there everyone!
I am a bit behind in posting my introduction, but super excited about
this new forum! I've met so many amazing individuals since the OMM
process began, but now I'd love to see you all connect with each other
the way I have with so many of you. You each have so much to offer one
another.
I think everyone has read my bio by now... but just incase...
Born and raised in Phoenix. College degree in theatre and Film from KU
(Rock chalk, Jayhawk!)
Spent the last 10 years in LA in various roles in the entertainment
industry, including acting, singing, dancing, casting (uh, starving)
and then had the pleasure of working a corporate job at ABC
Entertainment on the Disney lot. ahh good times.
Married to a great guy, also an actor, and we have a perfect little 2
year olf version of ourselves- Braden - who is well on his way to
performing as well.
I left that life to stay home with my son, make custom Jewelry, and
created the concept of OurMilkMoney...which never would have seen it's
existence if it had not been for my beautiful and loyal-as-can-be
business partner, Kelli. She's the quiet but smart one if you haven't
all figured that out by now. :)

Hello! I am the Mom of 3 chidren, daughter 20 and twin 14 yr old boys
(soon to be 15 this week). I have been a work at home mom all but 7
years of their lives. I started as a contractor for Carin Studios
painting Tom Clark gnomes until the boys started school. I was in
desperate need of adult interaction so I went to work outside the
home. After 7 years of putting up with someone elses rules and their
time, I decided to go into business as an Usborne Educational
Consultant. I also took a job at the hospital as the photographer in
the birthing center 3 days a week, taking portraits of newborns. I
love doing both!

It is wonderful! I get to see all these babies, hold them and get
great pictures for their parents. I really can say I love my job.

Hi Everyone!

I am sooo excited about this new forum! It's great to see people
connect especially when you are busy working and taking care of your
family!

I am a mother of 2 beautiful children, jack (4) and Victoria (10 this
month). In 2007 my daughter was diagnosed with autism. We've known
she's always had developmental delays but now we had a confirmation.
My concern became not only what i needed to provide her now, but what
this ment to me as her mother for the future. I needed flexiblity in
my schedule and I needed it fast. Working late hours wasn't working
for me anymore. Working a full time job at the time, I decided to take
my new hobby of web design and incoporate it with my 13 years
experience as a corporate executive assistant. Gopher Girl was born!

However, I've realized that where I gained my greatest joy was in the
creative aspects of design. 2 years ago, I ventured on the path of
HTML/PHP/SQL/Java as my significant other needed to find an alternate
solution to Amazon to sell used cds/dvds. So I started digging into
how to create an ecommerce store and built http://underground-discs.com.
Though painful nights of researching on the internet, and aquiring the
right software, I taught myself web design, logo design, photo
editing, etc.

In the last few months after realizing how much small businesses
needed an inexpensive way to get on the web, I decided to slowly
migrate from a virtual assistance business to a full service web
design/graphic design and marketing company. My hopes are to become a
one stop shop for small business. However, I still offer virtual
assistance to clients needing the added support.

My goals over the next year: Find my nitch, develop my Adobe Flash
skills, work on my SEO strategy, design a template store for people
who have really limited budgets, rebuild my client profile, redesign
our cd/dvd business, keep my clients happy, find new ones :), work on
finding ways to better ways to balance my work/home life, be more
involved in my kids schooling, lose 10 lbs, ummm... I think the list
goes on!

I look forward to meeting/chatting with everyone at OMM!
Kindest regards,
Kimberly
