Note 10/14/14 - I will be on vacation from 10/15-10/20. I will catch up on messages and rating when I return home from Disney!

I''m a single mom with three kids, ages 7, 5, & 4. Between working full time and the kids I love my personal time that comes in the evening when I can create. I work full time as a restaurant manager. I am a buckeye girl who has recently relocated to the south & it's been an interesting learning curve.

I have just started back to school to work on a degree in Business Management. My school uses iPads, so I'm interested in any tips and app recommendations for the iPad Air.

I mark a swap as sent after I put it in a mailbox. I do take mail to the post office on Sundays on my way to church, & it will not be postmarked until Monday. I also drop mail off after work or school so again it will not be postmarked until the following day.

If you have not received a swap from me or are unhappy with it, please contact me, especially before rating down! I am happy to resend or make other arrangements.

I try to rate within 24 hours of opening a swap in most cases. If I have missed eating please let me know, it was not intentional.

I will contact someone via swap-bot message before rating down. However I generally don't start messaging until I get the two week notice for US swaps or 4 weeks for international.
