Janine Huldie

Hi, my name is Janine. I am a wife an have been married over 14 years. Also a mother to two little girls. Emma is 10 years old and Lily is 9 years old. My family is truly my life and world.

I have a Master's Degree in Math Education. I taught in a middle school before having my girls. Decided during my second pregnancy to stay at home with my kids.

So now, I am currently a work at home mom and trying my best to write, design and take care of my family, too.

In my spare time, I also am a huge Disney fan. Plus, I collect Pandora, Trollbeads, and Alex and Ani, as well as love new jewelry creations by changing up charms and have written some of my hubs about my collecting of these fabulous charms.

But then again, I have always truly loved to write and enjoy being able to write articles as a parent and teacher, as well as share my life with the Hub community here on Hubpages for over 8 years, as well as on my blog, too. You can also find me on my blog at: http://janinehuldie.com.

Also, I was awarded a Hubnugget award (now called Rising Star Award) for my hub, Match.com--A Success Story at: http://janinehuldie.hubpages.com/hub/Matchcom-A-Success-Story. Thank you truly to all those that voted.
