Please Welcome Jill | New Simply Being Mommy Contributor

My name is Jill. I am a 35 year-old Mommy to a 4 ½ year old little diva, Addison. My husband (also named Ryan) and I have been married for 10 years.

Growing up, I lived in Indiana. I went to Ball State University and obtained a degree in Psychology and Classical Cultures (What a combo!). Shortly thereafter, I ventured down to Kentucky for graduate school where I graduated with a degree in College Student Personnel while running an all-female residence hall. While job searcing closer to my hometown, I ended up at Ohio Northern University, in the metropolis of Ada, OH, as the Assistant Director of Residence Life. On one of my first days at the new job, I met my husband. He says that he told his friend that very same day, “I’m going to marry that girl someday”. I wasn’t so confident, but I thought he was a pretty awesome guy. After his graduation and our wedding, we moved to Akron, OH where I continued my carreer in University life. After two years of living as a married couple in a residence hall, we decided that it was time to grow up and buy a house. We did just that, bought our first house and got a dog. We live about 45 minutes from Cleveland, right in the middle of the Lake Erie Snowbelt.

I am fortunate that I am able to work part time in Logistics for a worldwide company. As a family, we love to watch movies, play games, and just hang out together. We like to travel and have taken several trips. Our favorite vacation destination is Walt Disney World. Some of my hobbies include reading and scrapbooking. All of my friends like to call me “cheap”, I prefer the word “frugal”. I love looking for and finding a good bargain!

I am new to the blogging world, but am excited to help Crystal out here at Simply Being Mommy!

Her husband Ryan and my husband Ryan know each other from my husband’s blog and podcast. I’m so excited that Jill has decided to join the SBM team.  I sure could use some help and I think Jill is going to do an exceptional job.

So, please join me in welcoming Jill to the team.
