One day, this may all change but for now…

I am not paid for anything that is posted here. Any reviews are just my own opinion, no one gave me the product, no one paid me to write about it. I am just throwing my two cents out into the big black hole that is “the web”.

saeHi I’m Stacey! By day and night (not so much in the morning), I am a freelance web designer/developer (don’t judge me by my blog, this is supposed to be a hobby). In my abundance of free time (yeah, that was sarcasm), I love to “get into things” and muddle around. I think I have muddled my way through most of my life so far. Hence, one of my famous sayings, “I make it up as I go along”.

I bore easily. I have erratic diverse taste in design, music, food, movies, and really just about everything else. Some may think that I lack focus, I think that I enjoy variety.

Besides my freelance web design & development business; the husband and I occasionally purchase storage units, I have two self-published children’s books, we own an online store, sell other things through miscellaneous channels of the web, I have an MLM business, and now a new blog. Most are successful, some not so much. I am also currently taking 3 online web development courses.

I like to think of myself as a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. I am okay with that, it is variety that adds the spice to life, right? I have created this blog to keep up with my own interests, likes, and a few dislikes, but if someone happens to find it entertaining or useful in some way, that makes me Laughing

Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookie Cake Balls

So it's my husbands birthday and I can't make "the cake" until next weekend so I scrounged around the kitchen to see what I can clear out and make some kind of special treat for him this weekend. I love cleaning out the cabinets and the fridge and making something with what I found.
