Hello Moms!
My name is Tai (pronounced tie) and I am a mompreneur. I have two children. My son is 8 and my daughter is 2 and I just love my love bugs!
My husband is military and that means that very often I am a single mom, playing mommy and daddy. I, myself, am prior service Army. My father served 30 years, so this military lifestyle is not new to me. I used to say to myself that I don't know how my mom did it and that there was no way I would do it and now look at me! LOL ;0)
I will be blogging every week on trianglemom2mom. My blog is titled Etiquette Schmetiquette. It will be about life and everything in it. I hope it is as enjoyable for you to read as it will be for me writing it.
I am glad to be a part of trianglemom2mom. I like the site and there is so much information on here. I found it recently and I keep coming back...
Looking forward to getting to know other moms and sharing stories and wisdom of motherhood.

Hi Tai! I am a SAHM, a military wife and have an Arbonne business that I work during my free time. My spouse is gone quite a bit and I have had to find all kinds of ways to fill the void he leaves while he is away.
I am interested in reading your blog and don't know what quite to make of it yet. Are you suggesting that good manners and proper social etiquette are to be thrown out with the bath water. Horrors... certainly not. :)
Hi ArbonneMom! I am glad you understand the lifestyle of being a military wife. My husband is gone now and it truly helps to stay busy to pass the time until he returns.
I am most definitely not suggesting that good manners and proper social etiquette are to be thrown out. I am a certified etiquette coach and so I do more than believe in good manners and proper social etiquette, I teach it!
The title of my blog, Etiquette Schmetiquette, is also the title of my company e-letter and a book I am publishing. I often say it and I admit I like the ring. Although it does rather frequently throw people off, but that is the purpose.
Would you agree that many people view etiquette as boring, stiff, too formal, and only associated with certain people, places, and environments? Etiquette Schmetiquette is my way of grabbing attention to say, "Etiquette is essential to every one, every aspect, and every location absolutely every day."
Etiquette is not for just setting the table and making first impressions and good manners doesn't end with please, thank you, and you welcome. In my blog, I plan to show how it correlates to things we don't usually think of when someone mentions etiquette and good manners while often talking about other things like my daughter potty training so that people will see that although it is my business to coach and train on etiquette and manners, that doesn't make me perfect and superhuman. Besides, I like to laugh and show how proud I am of my little ones! ;0)
How long have you been an Arbonne mom? I am so glad to see another military spouse on here!
