Who We Are
We’re an a retired Army family living a wonderful life the best that we can. The man and I were high school sweethearts and still are!! We went to senior prom together and are still dancing the slow dances at Army Balls home. We’ve been married over 20 years and we now call OKlahoma home. We’ve been We were forutnate enough to be here for more years than imaginable due to 2 unaccompanied tours to Korea and a couple deployments to Iraq. After each of those, he requested duty here. His final assignment is was as a Drill Sergeant and he was once again able to stay here to train the boys that come here for their Basic Training. We’ve also been to Germany and Georgia.
We have one very beautiful, smart and tenatious daughter. We’ve made the decision to homeschool our daughter after rough years of public school and a 2 year attempt at private school (that just wasn’t cost effective).
We also have 2 very different, fun and loving dogs. They’re definitely part of the family and our our kids as well.
Retirement from the Army is coming up very quickly for hubby and we’re looking forward to it was 2 years ago and we’re enjoying our “new life”. The Army has been was a great life for us. It’s part of who we are. However, we can’t wait to see we’re taking in what else “civiilian” life has to throw at us. We’ll always be an Army family, no matter how you look at it.
I’m a catechist (Catholic religious education teacher/volunteer) for Primary I (4 & 5) year olds. I absolutely love teaching this age group. The kids are great….they’re fun, busy and so open to learn about their faith. One of my “hobbies” is to create Christian file folder games (ffg). I have my own Y!Groups that focus on just that and I share everything that I make. I think it’s a great fun, yet edcuational way to teach our kids about their faith.

I have a few customers that order Scentsy because they’re in the army and can’t have candles.. let me know if you have any questions okay? here’s my website! http://www.losetheflame.com

Hi, nice to meet you !
Hi Elaine,
My name is Carrie and I am working with the team who is putting on the Parenting Summit, a free online event featuring several leading parenting experts sharing tips for parents via video. The event will take place online from March 1 through March 8, 2011 and will be free for participants to benefit from. You can see the site at http://www.ParentingSummit.com (we’re adding new speakers as we speak). This event is being put on by the same team who put on the Leadership and Influence Summit, which had over 20,000 participants take part! http://www.LeadershipAndInfluenceSummit.com – We have a proven track record of making these events work.
The purpose of my email to you today is two-fold:
1. Promotional Partner: We’d like to ask you if you would join us in getting the word out about this event by sharing it with your followers. You can post a note with a link back to the registration site on your blog, Facebook and Twitter to encourage others to sign up now. This is a free offering we are making to parents as a way to help equip them and the children. If you’d like a banner or a graphic that you can add to your site, we can make that available to you as well.
2. Additional Parenting Experts: If you know of a highly credible parenting expert who you think we should add as a speaker, please let us know. We’re looking for a few more well qualified experts to add, but they need to be reputable. Even if you think that person could be you, please let us know and let us know why. As you can understand, we want to share the best information that we can with parents and keep the integrity of the content high.
As a THANK YOU for helping us get the word out about the event, we are going to create a “Best Parenting Guide” that will include a link back to your blog / website as a suggested resource for parents and participants of the Parenting Summit. This guide will no doubt bring you a solid amount of additional exposure.
I look forward to hearing back you from soon. Have a great day!
Carrie Taaca
Parenting Summit
P.S. If you would prefer to talk to someone via phone about this event… please call my colleague, Daniel, at 904-230-7529.
Thanks!
