“Ready To Learn Mom” with Stacey Kannenberg Radio Show at 10 CST/11 EST every Wednesday! Join us on 07/28/10 with the WINNER of the Business Baby Shower, Robyn Pellei of ViveVita.com. Robyn talks about winning and how she manages her 9 kids, ages 1 to 10, while running her business!!! Oh my, 9 kids under 10!!!
About Robyn Pellei:
Currently, I am a very busy lady with a great life! And, I have sneaked out on to my screen porch to steal a moment to write.
My days are filled with smiles, laundry, school work, emails, business calls, diapers, snacks, hugs, coffee and prayers (lots!).
“What am I doing?” and “How do I do it?” are questions that I ask myself and often hear from others.
I have 9 adorable children that range in age from 3 months to 9 years! Please, pick up your jaw and stifle your laughter. I am not a comedian, though that may be my next venture! I started making products when the needs got so great in my home that I had to do something to make things easier. Necessity truly is the mother of invention. Oh, I also homeschool our kids…they are all in 4th grade this year! And, I am the wife and life-partner to a wonderful husband. I have friends that are amazing and a squad of cheering family members.
So, you know all about who I am now – a wife, a mom, a teacher, a CEO, and a friend. Today’s popular term for all of that is Momprenuer.
In my prior life – the BK (before kids) one – I was a nurse, an emergency room nurse to be specific. I also worked really, really hard and got my masters degree as a family nurse practitioner…funny, I never practiced in that role. OK, not so funny, but I just couldn’t do it. I had my first child just two weeks after I graduated and I was sooo tired of school and honestly…I wanted to stay home with my little guy. So, I’ve got that in my back pocket and of course, I use what I learned everyday. A very expensive education to be a mom!
And before all of that…
- grew up in a small town in Virginia, that qualifies me as a Southern country girl – sort-of.
- lived a “normal” faith-filled life with a fun family and many years of school and good friends.
- spent half a year in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa with a missions organization (YWAM) running a small clinic. I lived in a real hut for 2 weeks – so cool!
- met the man of my dreams in the ER and married him a year later. He’s the one that I look at and get pregnant!
Now that we are all caught up, I will be sharing my everyday experiences and loads of tidbits that I have and am learning. I will try to be mostly informational, as there are lots of TV shows you can watch if seeking drama. You will hear about how I manage to do most of this stuff and keep myself and our family together. We adopted two of our children internationally, so I will write about that sometimes too – though not very often because I don’t want it to seem like there is a difference in our family. Nothing so different, just a wonderful way to come together. My faith is very strong, honestly – it is only by staying close to my Creator that I am able to be or do anything that I am today. So, you will catch that strength running through lots of what I write. I have nursed all of my babies, even got the chance to nurse our adopted boys for two days – so special! And of course, you will hear lots about daily life with the kids and managing a business. I am not politically minded, so you won’t hear much about that from me and I refuse to write anything about my marriage (except the great stuff!). My marriage is sacred and I wouldn’t want to cause any discord – I can manage that well enough on my own!
I look forward to sharing my experiences with you and hearing about your experiences, questions and thoughts. Please try our products and tell your friends about them! For more information about Robyn’s products, please visit www.ViveVita.com
