About

Hi. I’m Sommer and this is my blog and my business. My online home {sorry if it is messy I try to keep things tidy} where I share bits and pieces of my life with a hope to inspire, motivate and encourage others to be a little bit greener, just a little bit isn’t too hard.  I’m a mom and a wife who of course is juggling everything and someday a ball is going to drop – I just know it. I do my best everyday and yes sometimes I’m not very green but I try. I really do try but being green is not a race or a sense of status. We are all uniquely green in our own way.

I have many skills like juggling a million things at once but I’m especially good at blogger outreach, communication, strategies and connecting bloggers and brands. I spend way too much time online but that makes me good at my job which really is not a job because I love what I do and most people cannot say that about their work. I love working with brands and agencies to connect the dots and think out of the box. I have plenty of testimonials, client history and examples to demonstrate my capabilities but I am always learning, growing and improving. A lifelong student and self taught entrepreneur that sees a leaf and thinks of a new business and how to market the leaf.  Funny because I have two degrees in education, I used to teach preschool and my teaching certificate is about to expire.

These goofy kids are mine. They are my heart.

Little Tidbits

• I am from Michigan – you know the mitten state and I guess I have a very heavy Midwest “accent”.
• I write like I talk or so my high school English teacher told me.
• I like to golf but I’m really bad at it but driving the golf cart and having a cocktail is fun.
• I always have bruises. My grandma said I needed to eat more bananas but really I am just a klutz.
• I enjoy the sunshine but I’m not really a fan of sunscreen which is not safe, I know. I dislike the smell.
• I travel a lot for my consulting business and I prefer the window seat and hate when people bring fast food onto the airplane. It stinks.
• My business name was Green and Clean Mom, LLC and is currently being changed to SLP Connections and I have become an S Corporation.
• I wrote a book for children to understand their moms blogging and being online all day. I’m a wee bit proud of it.
• I used to be really heavy and recently I have lost 35 pounds. Sweet!
• I have recently started collecting antiques. It is addicting.
• I do not mind being called a mom blogger.
