My Tribe: 0

I am a mother to a sweet 2-year-old boy, who was born with a right clubfoot. I'm also a wife to an equally sweet older boy with multiple sclerosis. Needless to say, we have a little in life to take for granted and seek to spread awareness and compassion to others facing these health challenges.

I'm also a self-proclaimed "Grammarzon" and warrior seeking to avenge the daily abuse of the English language. I would love to go into business for myself editing and proofing websites for businesses. I haven't quite figured out how to make that happen, though, so in the meantime, I write about what I see and try to make grammar fashionable!

For families affected by clubfoot, a congenital foot deformity, I have established a site that seeks to provide insight and access to clothing that works during the treatment process. This is something I found to be quite difficult at first, so I hope to alleviate some of the stress of bringing home a newborn and not even knowing what clothes from the baby shower can be worn.

Additionally, I'm interested in couponing and helping others save money, with a specific interest in helping clubfoot kids' parents provide clothing and orthotic devices they need at an affordable price.

Finally, I work in the investment advisory business at a local boutique brokerage firm, so I also have an interest in finance and investing. Particularly, I like to apply my skills at retirement planning with health concerns, like MS, in mind.
