Tracy Sebastian's picture

I'm the wife of a scattered businessman and the mother of 4. The oldest is out in the "Real World", the second is in college, the third and fourth are in elementary school.

I'm trying to make the lives of mothers better by sharing my mistakes - so they can learn from my mistakes, they don't have to make their own. I love to travel and take pictures. I try to incorporate both into my life every day.

My motto - "Don't Panic - It could be worse."
