This past weekend we spent time with family! To me there is nothing more important than family. Most of you probably don’t know that I am from a rather large family and there are 12 kids to be exact! There was never a dull moment and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I was just thinking. If you didn’t know that I was from a big family I am sure there are a lot of things you might not know about me. So I though this would be a great opportunity to re-introduce myself to all of you who don’t know me. And what a better way to get to know me than by me sharing 10 fun facts about myself that you may or may not know.
1. I am the 4th oldest of 12 kids (Starting from the oldest to the youngest here they are, 7 boys and 5 girls)
My Parents Doug and Sharon (http://www.parentsofadozen.com/)

6. Michael
7. Hannah
8. Rachelle
9. William
10. Thomas

I even framed out a map of the world in my room where I peg the places I have been and dream about the places I want to go one day!
3. I was born and raised in Northern Illinois but I am not opposed to living somewhere else.
4. I love teaching / educating people about health, beauty and business! I have always had a passion for making people feel better about themselves. I just didn’t know that I could make a career out of it. 🙂
5. I am and have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 10 years. (I love it when someone leaves my chair feeling better than they did when they arrived.
6. I started cutting and coloring my family’s hair at the age of 14.
7. I lost over 30 lbs and 19 1/2 inches when I was 19 and I have kept it off even through my pregnancies!
8. I started sharing Shaklee after I lost all of my weight because people wanted to know how they could do the same (again helping people feel better about themselves)
9. I love gardening and healthy eating (especially the food we grow in our garden) This year will be my 3rd year having a vegetable garden so I am by no means a pro but I do enjoy it. That can be a whole post in its self! More on that later!
10. Last but not least, I married the love of my life (Brandon @bsjohnson1303) at the age of 24. Together we had 3 kids; Magdalena age 3, Steven age 2 and Nicholas age 2 1/2 months
