About Me

A "little" About Me, so you'll know who I am.... My name is Cindi, and I’m a Mid-Life Baby-Boomer wife of over 30 years; mom of 2 grown daughters; and have 2 young grandchildren. I’m a native of New England, and live in an historic small town in Connecticut.My interests include Vintage Collectibles, shopping and of course, writing!

I started blogging in late 2007 to share my experiences as a WAHM, and have really grown to enjoy meeting new friends from all over the globe. Originally I had hoped to promote my eBiz through the blog, as well as to share information with my friends.

I'm the author of Moomette's Magnificents blog which covers e-commerce, Networking, eBiz, Bonanzle, Parenting and Grandparenting tips. My blog was recently voted and honored as Top 10 WAHM Blogs by Sparkplugging for 2008.

I also offer Product Reviews from the viewpoint of an experienced Baby Boomer Mom and Grandmom "who's been around the block."

Additionally, I talk about the personal musings and observations of a Baby Boomer Grandmother from New England, transitioning into retirement and reinventing a second career as a WAHM. Reflections of the trials & tribulations of being a Wife, Mom, Grandmom, Mentor, Boutique eBiz owner. Family, Women's & Social Issues, Politics ~ Whatever comes to mind. Hot-Flashing at it's finest.

I love to cook & share Recipes & Kitchen tips, Coupons and Giveaways at my new blog, Frugal New England Kitchen

Finding and sharing the best Giveaways, Contest, Coupons and Deals on 'Net at Great Finds and Giveaways

As a Freelance writer, I'm a Type-A Mom Editor of Type-A Mom 50-Something Moms, Contributing Editor at Frugal WAHMs Product Reviews.

Additionally, I am a Contributing Editor at Roxy's Best of...Hartford (Connecticut) where I write about everything from restaurant and shopping to art, culture and kid stuff in the Nutmeg State! I also Freelance and contribute to Associated Content, e-How and am a Squidoo Lensmaster. You’ll also see that I am very passionate about the benefits of online education. After a 20-year break from when I first started college, I received my B.S. degree in Business Administration with a minor in Sociology from the University of the State of New York through accredited online studies while in my 40s. Afterwards, I then went on to complete another A.S. degree in Paralegal Studies, graduating Magna Cum Laude, all while working full-time and raising a family. For over 30 years I have been in the professional field of Law in the capacity as a Paralegal as well as Legislative, Regulations and Research Analyst, in both the public and private sectors. Taking my Paralegal Experience one step further, I have now established my website at CAM Virtual Assistant Services, and offer freelance Virtual Assistant Services for all your business and blogging needs. After being employed in the business community for many years as a Paralegal, I’m looking forward to retirement, being a Work-at-Home Grandma and sharing tips with all my fellow Baby Boomers on how to successfully transition from commuter to eBiz Mompreneur! I started my online presence on eBay store and quickly became a Power Seller. I now sell on Bonanzle, the new online marketplace and eBay alternative. Moomette's Magnificents on Bonanzle specializes in Vintage Sewing Patterns. Besides Twitter, you'll find me active in the social blogosphere, where I'm known as "Moomettesgram."

While many of my favorite blogging buddies are enjoying BlogHer10 in New York City this year, I’m at home in Connecticut enjoying my family time. As a blogger for the last 3 years, understand that while
blogging strategies techniques and making connections are important, I
personally believe that making memories is more important.
