About Me

Hello,

My name is Anne. I’m a mother of two children. Hunter is 11 and Savannah is 4. I’ve been married to my husband for 15 years and helped him raise his three sons - Adam, Tristan and Jeffrey. Thankfully, they’re grown and live on their own. Being a stepmom was quite a challenge. But I am loving being a mom.

I work at a doctor’s office in the front office. I started blogging in May 2009. My husband stopped working due to Multiple Sclerosis and I wanted more ways to save money. We also really got into doing right by the environment and started to do more “green” activities. I stopped using paper plates, paper napkins and more. Check out all my going green posts for more tips.

In my spare time I love to take pictures, bake, crochet and play with my kids. I love a good mystery and am currently into Amish books. Don’t ask-?

Mommy Has to Work is about my life, saving money and going green. I’ve learned a lot over the past two years and made many friends.

Don

My husband is a retired firefighter/paramedic. He had to retire after 23 years due to an injury at work. He is a great father who loves to play with his kids and is not afraid to let his daughter put make up on him!

Hunter

Hunter is a sweet boy. He is kind and friendly to everyone. He loves to play any kind of ball. He started going through that awkward preteen period.

Savannah

Savannah is the long awaited girl. She is funny and sweet. She’s a little bit tomboy and a lot princess. I have a feeling she’s going to give us a run for our money!
