Welcome Jacki ~ Parenting & Shopping Contributing Editor

I would like to introduce you to my friend Jacki who is my new Parenting and Shopping Contributing Editor. With a great love for all kids and in trying new things she is the perfect fit for helping me with reviews and sharing advice.  I’m very excited to have her on the team and hope you will join me in welcoming her to the blogging world!

Hey! My name is Jacki and this is Belle, my wonderful 3-year-old daughter. I’m a single Mommy so our little family is super tight.

Belle is a beautiful little lady with a big personality. She particularly enjoys dressing up in interesting daywear, striking up conversations with random people, talking.. . a lot… and generally being the center of attention. Belle is very curious and observant, and will offer her hilarious commentary generously. She loves art and music, and is the most sweet and loving little person I know. I am truly blessed to be her Mommy.

Belle thrives on being busy, so she’s involved in ECFE and Dance, and we also go to Open Gym and Open Skate regularly. Belle is my little shadow, and we do everything together when we can, though I have to share time with her with the other genetic contributor.

I grew up in central Minnesota, and moved to northern part of the state to attend college. I’ve been stuck here since… though I’ll be moving soon to the Twin Cities to go to law school. Right now, my life is basically divided between working full-time and hanging out with my daughter. I absolutely love being a mom and all that comes with it!

During the sliver of free time I seek out new and fun activities for us to try, if I’m not catching up on laundry or cleaning. Shopping is a guilty pleasure…especially clothes, toys, makeup, hair, shoes. .. sigh. So, when I heard about doing product reviews, I was definitely game. This is my first time on this review/blogging rodeo so I hope I don’t completely butcher it! I can’t wait to get started!
