About Kim

My Life:

kim2013

Hi there! I am Kim, a former Architect who left a professional career stay at home with her kids. I am in the best shape of my life and have discovered that things really can get better after age 40.

I have 2 kids. My son, who is 9, is a super-genius who skipped second grade and likes sports and video games. He likes to wear ties and his hair in a mohawk. My daughter is 5 and, well…I think she’s either going to be a spy or a computer hacker. She likes to wear dresses while playing in the dirt.

I’m also married, thankfully, because I need someone to help me at least even out the score against the kids.

My Passions:

I am a a self-proclaimed health geek.  I workout, I eat vegetables and eat clean and organic when possible.

I do not promote products that contain preservatives or gmos (genetically modified organisms).

I believe in removing chemicals from our household products.

I cook and sometimes it actually turns out good.

I often prefer the company of dogs over people.

My Work:

When it comes to my work and promoting products, brands or causes I believe in, I lead by example. I share things I believe in, use or would use. I don’t judge others behavior, I influence by sharing my own behaviors and empowering people with the information they need to make a smart decision.
