~Meet Samantha~
My name is Samantha (Sam) Ferrand and I’m the mum (an English one!) to two young men: Alex (soon to be 20) and Josef (soon to be 18). I have been blessed by being able to stay home with them when they were young. We had many adventures with their trucks, legos and trains – those were really fun times. I am a photographer so I was able to juggle my small home business with being a stay at home mom. Read more

Meet Christy~
I’m a wife, mama to 5 lil men, and a nurse (on the side to keep my hand in what I love!). I’m mainly a stay at home mom and I work on call as an RN. In my free time I craft or read or watch my trash TV in quiet. I’m energetic and always on the go with a smile to go with it. You can’t miss me when I’m out with my brood in tow. Read more
Meet Candyce~
I am a wife and mother to one child. My family and I live in Nashville, TN, and love to travel, but find ourselves limited by our schedules and money. As a result, we mainly take day trips, usually two or three weekend days per month. Read more
Meet Karen~
Hello, I am Karen Pledger. I am a 55-year- old mother of two, my son Michael is 33 and my daughter Nicky is 30 years old. I am soon to be a grandma and I am so excited!
Who are you?
I am an enthusiastic mother who delights in raising two beautiful little girls, Lucy and Polly, ages 3.5 and 2. I love to read, write, travel, take pictures, and go on adventures. Keeping a cozy and colorful home is important to me; I enjoy trying out new vegetarian and vegan recipes for our family, baking goodies, hanging laundry, and moving around the furniture. I recently started teaching English composition at the community college, two classes a semester, which is wonderful. My husband works full time at the Bookery, a used bookstore on Main Street in Placerville, and eventually we hope to run it as a family business. We are serious booklovers!
What is your biggest strength as a mom?
Probably my devotion to FUN! Read more
