About Me

Hi, I'm Christy.  I'm a mother to two adorable kids and a work-at-home mom.  I do a lot of writing and also sell toys and baby gear through BabyCrazy and books through Barefoot Books.  I'm interested in quality products for my kids, and figure I might as well share them with others as well!

In addition to hanging out with my kids and husband, I love reading, writing, watching movies, surfing the web, and learning new things. 

You can learn more about me on my blog or catch my writing on Suite101.
