My name is Lori Bourne and I'm a work-at-home, homeschooling mom with two darling kids. (I know these 'About Me' pages are supposed to be snarky and snappy, but I'm really just a tell-it-like-it-is sort of gal). I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area, and live in a northwest suburb of Chicago with my husband and kids.
I have an online business selling Montessori materials that has been a wonderful way for me to stay home and yet feel connected with the outside world. I began by selling on eBay, but I've since moved on to bigger and better things at my webstore: Montessori for Everyone.
I love my business, and I enjoy sharing information and free stuff as well as selling educational materials - I live by the internet paradigm "the more you give, the more you get".
My hobbies include reading, more reading, and reading other stuff. I would read all day long if I could, and I conservatively estimate that I've read 2000+ books in my life. Other hobbies include playing the piano and internet stuff like SEO (search engine optimization), which is the process of making webpages appealing to search engines.
I'm a born-again Christian, which also sets me apart as a minority in the internet world. I like to shatter stereotypes that people seem to have about Christians by being well-read, well-informed, open-minded, and helpful rather than judgmental and critical. That's my goal, at least.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
