New beginnings!

2010 is promising to be a wonderful year! Here's a little bit about me: I'm the proud mom of two fantastic kids - a beautiful daughter who is almost 16 and a little guy who is 6. I've been married for seven years to a sweet man with a heart of gold. We live in the metro Atlanta area, about 45 miles northeast of the city.

So....what's so great about this new year? Well, for one thing, I've started crafting again and that makes my heart sing!! I'm selling my products online at etsy, as well as locally at a few places. I make a variety of products: soaps, decorative items for the home, captured fairy jars, fabric bags, and more. For fun, I scrapbook, do a lot of reading, and tivo lots of reality tv to watch when I can't sleep!

I love to cook & bake, and that makes the family happy. Also, I've become something of a coupon diva (I call it Aimee's Semi-Extreme Couponing), which is helping our family to maximize our food budget during these tough times.

Lastly, I plan to start reviewing some fantastic family-friendly sites & attractions around Atlanta. I did this for several years at the now defunct "AtlantaChristianWeekly" dot com. It was a popular feature column, and I want to revive it as we take our family out to do fun things in the metro area. So a new blog is the way to go! I'd love for you to join me and see what 2010 holds for all of us!
