    What is your name? Sarah

     Where do you live?  So Cal

    How many children do you have/ages? 1 daughter she is almost 6 months

    What did you do before you were a SAHM?  Administrative work

    Do you plan to ever go back to work?  Not at the moment no.  We plan on having 4 children and I plan to stay home with all of them.  Not sure if I will return to work after they are all in school or not.  DH has a pretty flexible job and we like that if we want to take a vacation or want to just visit friends or want to travel for the holidays we can do it anytime without having to worry about me getting the time off.  It use to be such a hassle with me getting time off.  Also I will love to be able to go on field trips and help out with school activities.  I can't wait.
