This Weeks Spotlight- Elizabeth Amaro!!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Elizabeth at two great forums, Mommyjobs and WahmZone. She left a lucrative position at a law firm to stay at home with her two children, a boy 3 years old and a girl 1 year old. She has been happily married for about 6 years now and lives in sunny Florida! Currently she is an active survey taker (she says "professional!"), has a number of awesome blogs going on at the moment (a new one under construction as we speak!), and also works for a Canadian transcription firm when she has a free night! Elizabeth is also working on a new website and trying to start a home business of her own (organization?), which should be up and running by the end of this month!

Elizabeth recently had the time to submit to my Random Q&A!!!

1. What movies do you know every line to? Probably Superman I-IV since my son has been watching those almost everyday for the past year, LOL!

2. When was the last time you laughed so hard your sides hurt? Saturday, my sister told me some family stories that were great fun!

3. What is your biggest regret? The two years I didn't speak to my mother for more than a few minutes at a time.

4. What is your biggest fear? My children getting hurt and me not being able to do anything about it.

5. If you won the lottery, whats the first thing you would buy? Not a lottery person, but if I won a lot of money somehow, I'd pay off my home and then buy some chocolate.

6. Do you wear flip-flops even when its cold outside? Yup.

7. Have you ever cried in public? Yup.

8. When was the last time you slept on the floor? Probably a few days ago with my lil girl.

9. Has anyone ever called you spoiled? Yup. I don't know why though since it is very obvious that I'm not. LOL!

10. What time is your alarm clock set for? 8:00 am


So now that you've gotten to know her her a little bit more, take a few minutes and visit her blogs:

First of all I would like to say


HAPPY BELATED MOTHERS DAY!!!

This Weeks Spotlight- Me!!!!

When I came up with the idea of this blog, many of my forum friends asked if I would spotlight myself. I was planning on waiting until I had a few more spotlight's under my belt.Well, my intended spotlight has been busy, and not able to respond to my Q&A. I am sure I will get her for the future, but I didn't want to upset those who were waiting for a new spotlight! So I humbly present myself as This Weeks Spotlight!!


Many of my current readers will know a little about me, enough to count me as a friend. For those of you who don't know who I am:

I am a proud mother of two, an 8 1/2 year old boy named Daniel, and a 6 year old daughter named Marie. I have been happily (mostly) married for 9 years now! Here's a pix of me and my family!

I am a busy woman LOL!!! Aren't we all as mothers!! I am heavily involved with the PTA and Cubscouts. I help with fundraising and volunteer during school hours as an Art Docent. I am currently scheduling training sessions to become a Cubscout leader!! My biggest accomplishment yet (other than becoming a mom!) is that I will be finally graduating in July with a double bachelors degree from the University of Phoenix!! After four years of school, I am anxiously awaiting having more time to dedicate to my family and to start working heavily on my home business.

As for my business, I actually am involved with three, starting to heavily promote two of them now. The business I would like to focus mainly on is my partnership with the Stayin Home and Lovin It! Team. I've been with them for one year now, and I have made great friends with members of my organization. I have learned a lot from them on how to promote the biz and how to retain customers, so now I just have to make my dreams a reality by helping others to reach thier goals along with educating them on how to live a healthier lifestyle by ridding their homes of toxic chemicals. That's my main focus. I have always wanted to help people; when I was still in highschool I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I fainted when I saw blood, so that dream was shot. Then I thought I would do well working around animals, so I got a great job as a kennel receptionist, but that fell through becasue I discovered that I was allergic to dogs!! So I thought, if I could help SOMEONE or SOMETHING then I would be happy. I worked for Goodwill Industries for 2 1/2 years as an assistant manager in one of the retail stores, and that somewhat fulfilled my dream. I worked for a company that put people first, and helped them out of homelessness (among other downfalls) and back into the job market. But that didn't last either. And unfortunate even led to my being fired last year. I took that as a blessing in disguise, since I had been spending way to much time away from the kids. So it was after I had stopped working that I was presented the SHALI team. And within 30 minutes of talking to my sponsor/enroller, I felt FINALLY!! I am now able to help other people, like I have always wanted, AND keep my kids happy at the same time!!!

Besides working my SHALI biz, I do have two others that I am proud of. I am also an independet rep for Stuff-A-Friend. Great idea for bday parties!!! And I am a distributor for Mia Bella candles. But SHALI will always be my #1 biz ;)

Other than my biz's, I am an active participant on a number of WAHM forums, including moderating at my #1 site, Mommyjobs.com! I also support WAHMZone, and Internet Based Moms! There are a number of other forums that I participate in also, but it's a long list! I also have three other blogs besides this one. One is dedicated to heatlh and wellness, one for my "venting", and the third is where I have started to post some of my creative writings. I also have recently gotten involved in the autosurf world and PTR's. But that's a temporary thing ;)
