About Holli

Hello everyone. I live in Summerville SC for now and am a mommy to 3 boys and one baby girl ages 8 on down. We have also lived in Jacksonville FL and Seattle WA. My husbands job allows us to be nomads. I am definitely a blue collar mommy. We live on a very strict budget so I am always looking for double duty items and great consignment stores. I am not sure if my children are crazy or if it is really me that lost my sanity along time ago. There is never a dull moment in my house. As for me, I work at a restaurant and graduated from college last summer. In the 30 - 45 seconds of free time I get a day I like to read, draw, and do word puzzles. When every one's schedule allows we escape to Jacksonville to see our best friends.
