I am a married mother of four. My husband and I have been married for 30 years. I work full time as an account executive. The kids are all grown (from 20 -27) and living on their own or still in college. As they began to scatter I started an online family album with stories and photos of all our crazy but fun family celebrations. It then expanded into a "how to do it" resource and was renamed Celebration Ideas Online. I had been getting so many call from friends who were asking for ideas and instructions on some of the projects, parties, and holiday celebrations that went on around our home that I could now direct them to the site. From there, Celebration Ideas Online has been slowly discovered on the world wide web and traffic is building from all over the world. Amazing! I get such wonderful thank you emails from my viewers who tell me about how they used some and even improved on some of these ideas. It has been a rewarding experience.

My husband and I invested enormous amounts of time with the kids and their activities when they were all home. Our house was always filled with friends and family and there was always something going on! As I reflect back, I think it was that foundation that has made us such a close family. Even with the kids all out of the house, we remain close and connected. The website I developed is an attempt to share some of these fun memories for families that want to begin creating their own. Our family has been so blessed with strong roots and I truly believe that all those years of craziness with the parties, school and sports volunteering, holiday celebrations are at the core of our foundation.
