View Blogs By Author: Heather Stephens

Aside from being the newest FatWallet newbie, I'm a blogger in the home based business industry. I'm also a mom of 3, which is by far my most important job!

I am a dreamer, hugger, and wanna be private pilot. (I will finish this when kiddies are grown)
I am a photographer, blogger, and perpetual marketing student.
I love a challenge and I love to know how things work.
I love a bargain, but I purchase quality.
I wake up early and I love coffee way too much.
I love to learn. I love to read. Marketing psychology and personal development fascinate me.
I am not afraid to take a risk and I love hearing great success stories.
I have a knack for finding myself in funny embarrassing situations.
I struggle to stay caught up on laundry.
I can’t cook, I can’t sing, and I would be lost without spell check!
