About Me
- Frenchie
- Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
- Hi, I'm Frenchie. I have two kids that keep me on my toes. I have made a transition from working mom to stay at home mom, and being on both sides of the equation, I've decided that being at home is pretty great. My son has Special Needs and it keeps life interesting. I tend to blog with a brain-dump style so it's not always pretty. Did I mention I also have ADD? Oh look, something shiny.
I'm On the List (Finally)
