Are you crafting your life?
As parents we spend a lot of time encouraging our kids to follow their dreams, but sometimes we are out of touch with our own dreams. Perhaps we find ourselves in a rut, just need a boost, encouragement, inspiration, or a few tools to figure it out.
Amber Strocel describes herself as a crunchy granola mom of two, a suburban superstar and an incorrigible dreamer. She spends her days trying to organize chaos, and eats a lot of chocolate on the sly. After she was laid off from her engineering job in 2009 she decided to embark on a journey to figure out what she really wanted to be when she grew up. Now she’s on a quest to help other moms do the same thing at Crafting my Life.
