Let’s Party Wahmmy Style! Mommy Fest 2008

Files under Just Plain Wahmminess | Posted by Arika

Today marks the start of the 5th Annual Mommy Fest Blog Party and we here at They Call Me Wahmmy are participating, so let me introduce myself.

I’m Arika! I’m a little bit crazy and a whole lot of fun.  I’m a work at home mom of 3 wonderful kids.  Zach (10), Hunter (2), and Sierra (1 month). Life is hectic sometimes, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.  With 3 kids, how could it not be, right? ;)

I’m a virtual assistant who started her own business in 2005 and told the crazy life of a J-O-B good bye and opened my VA business doors full time in 2006.  Working at home has it’s good and bad points just like any other work, but I honestly don’t think I could ever go back to the corporate world now for many reasons.  I love what I do, what can I say.

The Mommy Fest event lasts all this week (May 12-16, 2008) and there are tons of fun prizes, giveaways, audio interviews and other cool stuff so be sure to stop by and check it out.  I always have a great time jumping around blogs and getting to know all the other mommies there.

Get to know tons of other blogging, partying mamas! Meet other moms at the party by clicking here and reading through some of the awesome mommy blogs of those who are partying it up with me this year.

    Wow, a real virtual assistant? I never thought you guys were real. Just kidding. How cool. It must be great (mostly)to have your own business. I am just working on starting my own piece of the cheese.

    Come visit me if you get a chance.

    That’s cool you were able to say goodbye to the job. I often wish I could do that, but then we wouldn’t have health insurance….oh well.

    Very nice to meet you. :)
