About Me

Wendi is a 35 year old mother of two young boys who married her High School sweetheart after dating him for 7 years.  She is a business professional with an MBA specializing in Human Resources, Accounting and Change Management.  She is passionate about her family and loves learning and sharing with others.

Wendi made the decision to become a stay-at-home Mom when their family grew to include a preemie in 2006.  She started blogging at Wendi's Book Corner as a way to challenge herself and keep track of the books she read.  Her passion for blogging grew to include product reviews, giveaways, author interviews, crafts, recipes, places to visit and so much more!  Wendi is launching a new blog called What Wendi Wants that will encompass everything from everyday life, product reviews, book reviews, crafts, kid friendly activities and recipes plus much, much more.

Wendi loves hosting product parties and has had a lot of success sharing great products and services with local Seattle and Eastside families.  I miss the daily interaction with people, but find that my new family-based life is very rewarding!

I originally created Wendi's Book Corner as a way to document and record all the books I read, and have found it to be so rewarding and fun!  It has also grown and evolved into a general blog where I share book and product reviews, crafts, recipes, daily life and where I'm starting some fun local features, including Around The Sound, where I'll showcase local events and places to visit in and around the Seattle area.

I love my blog - so come on over and say hi!  You can also find me on The Husband Project.

In 2011, Wendi's Book Corner was nominated for Parents Best Local Mom Blog!

Full disclosure: As of December 1, 2009, the FTC is requiring that bloggers who post their reviews disclose the source of the book/product they are reviewing. Most of the books and products I review were received courtesy (free of charge) of the publisher, author, publicist, manufacturer, or other Word-of-Mouth Marketing company (like BzzAgent, One2One Network, etc). I do not get paid for my reviews ~ I simply enjoy learning about new books/products and passing on the information and my thoughts.
