About Becky
My kids Sarah, Daniel, and Tommy are my top priority, so I'm sharing one of the most helpful sites that I have found for pregnancy and early childhood BabyCenter.com. BabyCenter.comThese guys have lots of information and can help keep track of how far along you are and what to expect at various stages. They even have a sister site, Parentcenter.com for ages 2-8. I highly recommend them! (Just click on either the logo or the words to connect to their site.)
Since I've been home, I've gotten a chance to do some reading (between laundry and naps). I've rediscovered some of my favorite authors and added some new ones to the list.

Mysteries are my favorite:
  • Dorothy L. Sayers- I discovered Lord Peter through the BBC produced series on "Mystery!". Simply wonderful mysteries!
  • Margery Allingham- I can't really describe what I like about Albert Campion, but these mysteries are thoroughly enjoyable.
  • Jill Churchill- I first discovered her Jane Jeffry's series and felt like I'd re-entered my own youth. Jane is the type of mom that I want to be. Of course, the Grace and Favor series is wonderful, too. It is more like the older British writers that I have always enjoyed.
  • Lilian Jackson Braun- I'm not a big cat person, but the small town life provides some wonderful characters.
Other favorite authors include:
  • Jane Austen- Although all of her books are good, simply put, "Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite book of all time.
  • Madeleine L'Engle- Her books intrigued me when I was young and fascinated by science. Many of them contain awkward girls who have much to look forward to as adults. (A message that I found to be comforting as a young girl, and true as an adult.)
  • Simon Hawke- His Time Wars series were filled with remarkably accurate glimpses of history, while playing with an interesting sci-fi concept.
Before I became a stay-at-home mom, I was a corporate trainer for the Cintas Corporation. My specialty was online/distance learning. Below is a link to one of my favorite resources.
