About Me

Hello, and welcome!

I’m Domestic Debacle.

I can’t cook, clean, sew and I have an unnatural love for polka dots. So hopefully you’ll get a good laugh at my attempts at being “domestic”. And I use that term loosely.

Very, very loosely.

I’m a wife to “J”-my gamer, geek, webmaster, blog designer and romantic that I not only love, but also like!

Mother to “M”-my wild 6 year-old princess, kindergartener, semi-professional drummer, soccer player and skull collector who keeps me on my toes and makes me sleep with one eye open.

And I’m a homemaker ::snort:: , who is truly a domestic disaster.

In addition to blogging, somehow I find time to substitute teach pre-k, which is entirely surprising when I went to school for Aerospace Studies and Military Sciences. Trust me, being a mom and teacher is so much more fun.

I love everything and anything Disney. Big time! J and I got married there in 2003- our wedding has been featured in several news outlets and the 2010, 2011 and 2012 versions of the Passporter’s guide to Disney World. I also try to keep up with the events and discounts being offered at Disney World to help my readers save time and money. From time to time you’ll find these listed in the “Debacle on Disney” Category. You can find my Disney-specific posts here.

Traveling is a passion of mine, and it seems like I’m always on the move.

I love getting, and giving cleaning tips. Because, I hate cleaning (who doesn’t?). And if something makes it easier to do so, I’m all in. Have one you want to share? I want to hear it!

Looking for media? I’ve got your media right here:

M and I have been featured on the Kohl’s a Minute for Kids campaign for Dayton Children’s Medical Center. You can see a copy of the video/commercial here. I also performed a radio podcast that was broadcasted on several popular radio stations in the Miami Valley. For the link to this, please click here and continue to the “Safety through the ages” MP3. It is still being broadcasted.

In addition to television and radio: I’m a Soft Scrub Captain, Ragu Mom’s the Word on Dinner brand ambassador, P&G Tide Fabric Care University graduate (and Tide Project Runway winner- judged by the one and only Tim Gunn), Feld Family Activator, Claritin Mom Crew brand ambassador, Kleenex Softness Worth Sharing brand ambassador to Blissdom 2011, Mickey Moms Club member, Team Mom member, Clever Girls Collective member, Mom Central VIP member, One2One Network Featured Member and FamilyFriendlyDayton.com managing editor.

I’ve also worked with countless brands on product reviews, giveaways, Tweet-ups, home party promotions, mom blogger night out, and retail and restaurant openings (as press and hostess).

So not only am I active on the internet (you can even find me on Facebook and Twitter)- I am also active within my community. I’m heavily involved in our church, homeless shelter, local children’s hospital, my daughter’s school, music/drum lessons, sports teams, library and various charities.

So sit back, relax and take a look around.

I’m all about connecting, so if you have something to say- don’t be shy!
