My name is Stacey and I’m a 36 yr old stay-at-home mom of five (three girls – 16, 13, 11 – and two boys – 8 and 2).  My husband and I have been married almost 17 years and are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We live in the Houston metro area after relocating from our beloved (and very missed!) home of Oregon in 2007.

I’ve been blogging since December 2005 and have seen a lot of changes in the social media landscape in that time.  I began blogging as a way to keep up with family, journal my thoughts, and hone my writing skills.  As I grew in my knowledge of web design, SEO, and marketing, I started working with companies on buzz campaigns, mostly through product reviews and giveaways.  I still enjoy working with companies and public relations firms, though I’ve grown particularly choosy and look for relationships that are solid, professional, and a good fit for me and my family.

My blog is mostly about what I call “life in a full nest.”  Being a mom of many – and especially across such a wide age range – provides intense challenges and rewards.  I blog about my busy life at home, share family stories and anecdotes, and publish pictures of our motley crew.  I’m also an avid reader and love to share my book reviews, and will continue to publish product reviews as I see fit.

I’m often asked the meaning behing my blog’s title, Tree, Root, and Twig.  It’s taken from Lord of the Rings, and it refers to the idea that everything – big AND small – is connected.  Even every tree, root, and twig.  I have a strong personal belief in that philosophy.
