I have been married for 14 years. If you knew me in college you would know I had one rule. The guy had to “adore me” or be gone. I am happy to say my husband does that and more. He is great husband and dad. He is a Military Veteran and our love of country is evident in everything we do. We believe in the American dream and are working hard to achieve it. We believe in teaching our children how to be respectful, patient, and kind. We try our best to be example of those traits in our daily life and relationship with one another. We have three wonderful children. We also attempted to build our American dream by buying houses and now I am the landlord for our rental properties. We have had to work extra hard to pay the difference between what our houses cost and what the market allows for rental charges.

I am a teacher by trade. I earned my Master’s Degree in Regular Education from the University of Florida. I also specialized in Special Education because I fell in love with children with Autism. I left the classroom to be a mom. It was a difficult transition but I have created a blog so that I could teach people virtually how to Spend less money and live their lives differently. I had to make a lot of changes when I cut my salary from 40,000 to nothing. I knew I wanted to pay for my children’s college. I only had the money we currently had so I had to figure out how to save money so I could spend it differently. I am not embarrassed that I spend less on my cereal. I am an extremely normal coupon shopper. I love a good deal and I am known for finding them. I am also known for shopping and being fashionable on a budget I share tips all the time on instagram so follow me there. I have two cooking sites as well and I am in love with learning. I am currently learning how to take pictures. I can’t put down a good book and if there are sports on you can most likely find me watching. I love technology and I adore teaching.

Madame Deals had been around since April 2009- January 2015. I decided in December of 2011 to make this blog into a Business. I quit my job as a Customer Service Supervisor/ Knowledge Resource Manager for a software application company by creating a business plan and sticking to it. I gave myself one year to either make it or close shop. I couldn’t do it all. I worked my part-time job, had a baby, and built Madame Deals into a thriving business in 11 months. I read everything I could get my hands on, watched every YouTube video, and created a network of bloggers to learn with. I have always believed in teamwork. That concept started Madame deals media which has the power to unite the world by creating a “helping others revolution.”
