I was so embarrassed — it had been a ... Read More »
Hello my name is Michele Barrett. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 9 years with 3 children, ages ranging from 4-9 years old. I always had a vision of owning a small business one day.

As a stay at home and homeschooling mom with a husband who is working and going to school full time, I almost never get alone time for just me. I feel I have forgotten how to take care of me. I want to feel like a sexy woman again. I am no longer breast feeding or pregnant and all my kids but one are potty trained. I want “me” back. I feel in the past 8 years of mothering I have lost a...

This is just a little story about me, it’s kind of personal and very honest. I hope that, maybe someone who is, or has felt the same is given some piece of mind knowing that there is someone else out there like them!
