Are you prepared for an emergency while travelling?

My kids and I drove to San Diego from Phoenix last weekend for a family event. As any parent knows, it’s important to have water, snacks, games and extras of EVERYTHING in the car when travelling with kids. (Ever been caught without a diaper or baby wipes? Yea, been there. Done that. Won’t do it again.) Little did I realize how important those extras would be. I pulled into San Diego just in time for the large power outage (caused by human error in Arizona, no less).

When I fall asleep at night, I’m often writing stories or blogs in my head. It’s not uncommon for me to arise, turn on the computer and pound out a few paragraphs.

About Me: 

A working momma of three who smiles at the joy life brings everywhere, from the faces of my family to the home to my work. I'll even laugh at the Cherrios all over the floor, the clean laundry not put away and the sock fights that happen when we're putting away laundry. Only, can someone help me find my keys?
