Hello to everyone out there at this fantastic forum site! I am so excited to start this new venture.

I am a 35 yr old mother of 4 kids - yes, that's 4! I have 3 girls and 1 boy. My oldest is a 16 yr old girl, then a 14 yr old boy, a 7 yr old girl and a 2 yr old girl. Needless to say it's never quiet at my house, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

I have spent the last 15 years in the legal field. I worked for 3 different law firms over the first 10 years of my career and the last 5 years I worked for a legal software company, where I had the guilty pleasure of working from home when I wasn't traveling.

My husband's job situation changed back in February of this year - it came with a nice pay increase, but also required him to travel as well. There was no way we both could travel with four kids at home so I had to make the decision to leave the company I was at.

Since Feb I have tried everything I could to find ways to work from home - yes, I got quite spoiled that last 5 years! I built a nice client network working for the legal software company, and have dealt with law firms all over the United States. I have picked up projects/jobs here and there for some of my past clients since Feb doing a little bit of everything - secretarial work, paralegal work, intakes, transcription, you name it, I've done it!

I finally decided to make it official and start my own V.A. business just recently. I am super excited to make this work. I even have a few other girls that are "on call" for jobs that I can't do myself (for lack of time). I am ready to hit the ground running and finally got my website up and have started my first email campaign.

I look forward to utilizing all the amazing tools on VAF to help get my business going. Although I am a bit apprehensive at jumping in to my first real business, I am totally excited too.

Anyone out there please feel free to check out my website - I am totally open to any and all constructive criticism that you can give.
