Hi! My name is Andrea Simanson, the Ezine and Website Editor at Successful Family Chores.
I'm an energetic, mid-life motivated wife and mother of three. I
love to balance life between home and work, spend
time with my husband and children, work as a legal assistant, and enjoy
managing the Successful Family
Chores
website. I am a networker who enjoys linking people to great resources
and information that will help them succeed in life.
My husband, children and I live in Pullman, Washington, home of the
Washington State University Cougars. Go Cougs!
My education and work experience include a B.A. in Business Education,
several years of teaching Office Occupations at the secondary level,
five years' experience as a legal secretary, and fifteen years'
experience as an administrative assistant. I worked for four years as
an
administrative assistant at our children's private Christian
school, and I loved the benefits of working close to our
kids. Last year, I made a job change back to legal work, which I am
thoroughly enjoying. I work for a state university now, which is quite
different from private legal work.
Ty and I have been married
18 years and we have three children:
Kara (15), Jamie (13), and Andy (7). During the school year, we're very
busy with kid involvements, but during the summer, Ty and I play coed
softball together.
We also like to watch professional baseball together on TV. We enjoyed
an Eastern Caribbean Cruise with three other couples in the fall of
2005. Our kids inform us that a
conditional of our next trip will be to bring them along.
How did Successful Family Chores
get started?
In August of 2003, I ruptured my achilles tendon playing softball and
was on my back for a month. During this time, I couldn't do much, so my
family had to step up and keep the house clean. Ah, a benefit to
injury! I started writing and joined with Howard and Beezie Davis in
the creation of Successful Family Chores - putting fun and energy into everyday
tasks! I publish the bi-monthly newsletter that includes free chore
tips, recipes, parenting articles, family fun ideas, and inspiration
that motivates families to work together to accomplish goals. It's a
free newsletter for anyone who wants to sign up. Click here

At Successful Family Chores, I strive to provide good resources for
parents and to share personal examples from my own life in order to
help and inspire others in their journey as parents.
