About a month or so ago, I announced that we were looking to add a writer or two to our team here at Outnumbered 3 to 1. We had quite a list of applicants to look through and had a hard time choosing just one! After careful consideration, Amanda, Jill, Becki, Christine, Corrie and I narrowed it down to 3 lovely ladies and asked them to join our team. Between the 3 of them, they will share DIY Trash to Treasure posts, Recipes, Crafts, a Diapers to Donuts series and reviews! We also have a baby reviewer again so be on the lookout for some baby stuff soon!
Each of the girls has written up a bio about themselves to give you a chance to get to know them a little better. I’d love for all of you to welcome them with open arms and hope you will tune in to their posts!
Meet Anne {Baby Reviews, Life with a Newborn}
Anne Younger is a wife, mother of 4 ranging in age from infant to 13 and blogger from Green Bay Wisconsin. You can find Anne blogging about her family and daily life, not to mention product reviews and giveaways at The Megalomaniac Mommy. In addition to her personal blog, Anne and her husband also run the recently launched Family Friendly Green Bay website.
Anne was a single mom from 1999 to her two oldest children Zman (13) and Drama Queen (11) until she met her future husband Alex (who also happens to be almost 7 years younger than Anne) in March of 2006, they were engaged 5 months later in August and were married the following October 2007. Together Alex & Anne have 2 children, Tatertot (4) and Baby Bean who joined the family in December 2011.
When Anne isn?t changing diapers, attending soccer or baseball games, driving the kids to and fro she enjoys crafting with the kids, reading, writing, tweeting, and socializing via the internet. In 2011 Anne completed a long term goal of being a college graduate and received her Associate Degree in Information Technology and Web Design.
The house is hardly ever clean, the dishes are rarely done, the laundry is always piled high but it’s guaranteed that everyone in the house is having fun living and loving life every day!
Meet Kristen {DIY Trash to Treasures, Crafts and Reviews}
I’m Kristen, 29, from Alexandria, Virginia. I am a full-time Kindergarten teacher, wife to George (an architect and furniture maker) and mother to our beautiful almost 3 year old daughter, Simone. I am constantly finding there are not enough hours in the day! In whatever spare time I have, I enjoy taking ballet classes and reading for a few minutes to myself. I really don’t like cooking, so I am an avid crock-pot cook and I am constantly looking for the next easiest recipe to try. I love to do arts and craft projects with Simone, but am not terribly artistic (just ask my students!). I love letting her be creative and exploring new materials. We are a pretty eco-friendly family and enjoy reusing materials to turn them into little treasures.
Meet Kelly {DIY Trash to Treasure, Recipes and Reviews}
Hello! My name is Kelly Hutchinson, I am 48 and I have lived in Knoxville, TN for almost 10 years with my husband, two children and 2 cats. My husband and I met while working at the same restaurant in Atlanta and have been married for 14 years. We have two great children; our daughter Caitlin is 13 and our son Henry is 10. We have two cool looking cats who are sisters. Hazel is black with a little white and her sister Meep is white with a little black. I also have a wonderful 24 year old daughter Chelsea, a graphic designer who lives in Atlanta. Chelsea was the first woman in our family to graduate from college and I became the second when I graduated from nursing school last May. My sweet son Henry has Asperger’s Syndrome which is a form of autism. When you have a child with special needs, over time you become an advocate for them and work towards educating others about the disorder.
Due to our disappointment in the education our son was receiving in public school, we decided to put my new career in nursing on hold in order to home school our son. My daughter the social butterfly thrives in public school so we decided to allow her to stay in public school. I love to find treasures in yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores and repurpose them. I also love to cook and am always scouring the web for new recipes to try out on my family! I love to read a good mystery, listening to 80’s music and sew clothing as well as home d?cor items. I love watching reality television shows like Top Chef, the Amazing Race and Survivor.
