Intro | The Official Heather Quarnstrom Blog

The Official Heather Quarnstrom Blog Writer, WAHM, and Mother, but NEVER in that order.

Lately I've been having some serious issues with writer's block. It seems like all the time I have so many ideas just floating around my brain until I sit down to actually write. The second I pick up a pen/pencil, or sit down at the computer my brain just empties. It's beginning to make me insane. I have all these things plotted out and notes written down, but when it comes time to turn them in to something -- *poof*. Sometimes I get lucky and can get a few words down, but then if I look them over I am horrified. I start wondering who on earth would read this? It's worse than the worse thi...

Catching up... Or "Yes, I'm still alive and kicking."

Hi everyone! I'd like to apologize for the long hiatus. Many things have been going on in my personal life. I won't go in to too much detail, but I've had a lot of health issues and a couple of surgeries in the interim time. I've also lost three close family members in the space of the last couple of years that have thrown me and I have still not really absorbed their loss. Another reason that I have been absent so long is that I've also had a lot of self-doubt as a writer. I have actually gotten some writing done, as well as a bit of my first novel started. After the first bit I was hi...

What is this blog about, anyway?

Just recently I began submitting my blog to various blog related listing sites, and found I had a small problem. All of them ask me to classify what this blog is about. Uh-oh. For some reason they all seemed to lack the proper category. The neglected to add the "whatever strikes my fancy" category. That led me to sit down and really think about what this blog is about. I've been told it's a "mommy blog" since I have posted parenting relating things, or it's a "contest blog" because I post giveaways. Ok, I can get with that, sort-of. Those are parts of me, but I have a problem with cla...

5 Minutes for Special Needs

Many of you don't know that I have both a sister and a niece with special needs. My sister suffered brain damage as a result of her belirubin climbing to record heights as an infant. Her functioning level was put at that of a six year old, even though she is 30 years old. She is the sweetest person, but has had a very rough life due to this and other unrelated problems. My niece has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and I have been learning all I can about this very common Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a result, I am a proud supporter of sites and causes that promote information and f...

Another intro for the MommyFest Blog Party

Posted by Admin on uncategorized

With this great MommyFest Blog party I thought I should put together for a new intro.

I am a 31 year old mother of five. I have four boys ages 12, 11, 6 and 7 months and a daughter that is 9 years old. I am a writer, web/graphic designer, web host, and WAHM for many different businesses. I like to have many different avenues to express myself. I actually counted the other day and I currently own 18 domains! (Unfortunately hubby was around for the count and gave me a raised eyebrow. )

In my spare time, what little there is I either read or play World of Warcraft and Second Life. I find that I am more apt to work or read in my spare time than play though.

That’s about it for getting to know who I am. I have many blogs and web sites that you are free to wander around. They’ll help in getting to know me. (Though many may wonder if I’m schizophrenic based on the wide variety of things I’m involved with… I’m not. Just, ummmmm… Diverse. Yeah. That’s a good word.)

If anyone is interested in exchanging links with any of my sites, please let me know in the comments below.

I look forward to getting to know everyone during this party. Now I’m off to surf some more mom blogs.
