We have a dog, a Chihuahua/beagle/dachshund mix, and a polydactyl cat. I'm a medical transcriptionist and also am a personal caregiver helping my sister with her microbusiness. I also own Tir Na Nog Naturals, making and selling natural based skin care. I'm married with 1 daughter, and we try to be as self sufficient as possible while balancing time/money/etc.
