About Me

Hello I am MNMSpecial

I am a busy stay at home mom of three. I married my sweetheart "Pie" after he graduated form Air Force Tech School. We recently moved back to our home town area for a brief stay until the next opportunity comes along. We have moved 15 times mostly while he was in the military and some since he has finished his duty time. I enjoy blogging, shopping, and taking time for me (mostly in the middle of the night). I have three home based businesses and just opened my own Etsy Store for paper crafting and little girl ribbon/bow holders. I've sold oil paintings when I was in high school, organize my cupboards and closets faithfully, and miss all my belongings that are still in storage while we are in transition. We love to cook and I have taught classes for others for the past eight years. Recently I decided to change my family's lifestyle for the better because I need it. We moved to a rural area and planning is key when you live an hour from the grocery store.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, "Pie" for almost 10yrs. He recently finished his time in the AIR FORCE, has worked for the ARMY and is now working for the Bureau of Reclamation. He is thinking about rejoining the Air Guard in the near future because he misses that aspect in his career. He an avid gamer, workout buff, and a awesome grill/smoker cook.

My son, "The U" is 8; a gamer, boy scout, avid book reader. My daughter, "Mad" is 6; a gamer (favors board games), loves toys, and is testing out girl scouts. My baby, "Cord" is almost 2; a shoes, clothes and toy lover.

We have moved over 15 times since getting married. I have followed my husband to new locations, different homes and apartments until he brought me back home. I have lived with him and traveled with him from Minnesota down to Arizona and to the West. I grew up in the Mountains and Trees, lived most of my married life near the Ocean and Huge Cities, and even made a stop for a couple years in the Prairie. Together as a family we travel all over the Western States, visiting historic places along the way. We are hoping to travel to the Eastern States in the near future. I still have never been to any Disney Park or any other big theme area.

All of these things have allowed me to have a specific opinion about what I like and want. Believe me I know what I want when I see it. I blog as an outlet for my run at the mouth issue. I have a hard time not talking. I love talking especially about products. Seriously, I stop strangers on the street if I feel like it! Just to ask the important things like, "Where did you get that?", "Who does your hair?", and "Do you need a hand with that?".

Joining my team:
Seasoned mother "Nae" as her husband lovingly has referred to her since high school. She has two children. She is very active and enjoys sewing, quilting, and eating chocolate. She enjoys having a clean house and being out in her flower gardens.
"Big Papa" - a special treat...My very own father. He is a very active grandfather and politician. He enjoys being out doors and driving up into the mountains on day trips. He was Vice President of a local bank for 18 years until starting a new career as an elected official. He is very handy and is currently fixing up a house my grandfather bought shortly before he passed away.
