About Me/Contact Me
Hello,
I am the mother of six children and Vice President of American Promotions, Inc.
I was raised on a farm in Idaho. I got out of bed pretty well every morning at 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. to change the water and hoe beets. My siblings and I used to make up songs to break the boredom of moving up and down, up and down, up and down the beet rows. The only thing that I liked about the beet field was that I had one of the most sought after suntans at church.
You would think as much as I despised farm work that I would have never considered marrying a farmer, but that is exactly who I married. It didn’t take me long to learn that being a farmer’s daughter was actually easier than being a farmer’s wife. My husband and I endured the roller coaster agricultural market of the 80’s until we realized that we had to make a change because we could not provide for our family on a small 200-acre farm. So we packed up our four children and moved to Utah to start a new career.
We had a couple of more children after we moved to Utah and with a few side roads along the way, I found a job working within the advertising specialty industry. It is so much more intersting and fun than farming and hoeing beets. There is one thing that I still do as I meet goals in the promotional product industry, I sing, “You’ve Come a Long Way Baby”, a song that my siblings and I made up in the beet field as we completed each acre or field of beets.
In my limited leisure time, I enjoying watching a movie, reading a short story, going for walk, or spending time with with my husband and children.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments about any of my blog entries. Thank you.
