About Mom
Just a bit about my life, my family and
why I built the Advice From Mom website
I was born in the 1940s and grew up in the 1950s but not in the idealized “Leave It to Beaver” household. Instead, as the daughter of a pastor/missionary, I spent my childhood on Indian reservations in Minnesota and North Dakota.
I graduated from high school, went to college, got married, and became a mother in the 1960s.
In the 1970s my husband and I both started small businesses. He opened a retail carpet store and, two blocks up Main Street in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, I opened a craft and yarn store.
In the mid 1970s, we moved to a hobby farm to raise our three daughters and two sons. These were the years of the "back to the land" movement. We loved growing our own organic food and preserving it. We experimented with alternate energy before it was popular to do so and learned many ways to live more simply that we still practice today.
In 1985 we moved our family to the Twin Cities, and now live in the Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood of Saint Paul. We continue to celebrate graduations, marriages and grandchildren.
I am a member of our church board and of our congregation’s missions ministry.
I love to travel. Recent trips have taken me to Alaska, Mexico, Spain, Morocco and Ecuador.
I love to learn, to explore and to share what I discover with others.
What I've learned in recent years is how to make a living while staying at home. I've also discovered that many other people are looking for a job that they can do at home with no commute, no bosses, and a chance to work in their "jamies". Moms especially dream of staying home with their children while contributing to the family income. I encourage moms, retirees, people with health problems, and anyone looking for a genuine work from home opportunity to take a little time to explore Site Build It.
Let me be quick to say that this is NOT a "get rich quick" scheme. What it IS is a wonderful company that offers anyone, with any level of computer knowledge, to build a website that will generate income.
I began to build the Advice From Mom site more than 5 years ago. There was a learning curve for sure but the comprehensive training that led me every step of the way soon made me love SBI.
If you want to explore a bit more there are several ways you can do that:
Once I realized the potential of my own online, work-from-home business, I built several other sites:
These are in various stages of development. They ALL earn income for me.
