Okay, so who is Dr. Mommy exactly, you might be asking?? Well, here goes, hope you are sitting down…
My name is Daisy and I am 40-something, married to the love of my life (yes, really) and have 5 beautiful children. I feel my life is very blessed and remind myself of that daily.. Aside from being a mommy, I am also a Doctor of Chiropractic by profession, freelance writer, business owner, office administrator, blogger, teacher (homeschool my kiddos), chef (for my family of 7), chauffeur, cheer mom, baseball mom, very involved in our church, and too many more to list.
I never thought that I would be a mom, yet a professional mom of 5!! I feel that God has changed my life dramatically and for the best. There was a time that I thought that being a professional was the most important career to have, but soon after having my first that all changed. I wanted to spend more time with my children, but didn’t think it was possible and have a healthy, relationship at the same time. Which is why after much prayer, I gave up my profession and decided to devote my time to my family.
Now, there are times, that I need to find time for myself which is why I blog. I love to write and share my experiences with others, even if they don’t want to hear it:) I also love to create, which is why one of my hobbies is jewelry making. I have been creating jewelry for many years, and at one time had a wonderful, successful business with it, but life got in the way and that ended and soon became my hobby again.
I have found that I truly enjoy writing, so that is what I do these days. I find that I can still be home, delegate responsibilities, homeschool and still have time to write. I don’t like crowds, so you will never find me at an amusement park, by choice, or a mall. Sad but true, although I love to shop, I can’t seem to concentrate on the task at hand in a mall, so I shop online, A LOT!!
I am having a blast and hope that you will come often to read about the adventures of a Dr. Mommy. And be sure to leave some comments:)
Many Blessings,
Daisy (aka Dr. Mommy)

Hi, Dr. Daisy! I was just wondering what it is like to homeschool 5 children? How long have you been doing it? and At what age were your children when you decided to start?
Oh yeah! And do you feel that your children are getting a better education than they would get at a public school because, of course, mother knows best!
I am thinking about homeschooling my 3 year old. Well, I’m already teaching him lots now! Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, English, Alphabet, how to read a clock etc. So I may as well continue the trend, right? It’s just that I’m wondering what it would really be like because, I am Christina Nicole Smith, IN ADDITION TO being a mother, so realistically…give it to me straight. What should I expect?
I love you for this blog girlfriend! Hit me back!

Hi Daisy!
I’ve come to know you only recently from your posts at Organized Life by Design and on Twitter. I’m so happy for venues like these as I end up meeting so many like minded moms like you!
I relate to the career/passion for mothering and being home/creativity balance that seems to be part of your life as it is mine.
I think what you’re doing is great and how wonderful to know that you are making a direct impact on the education and development of your children through homeschooling.
God’s blessings to you!

Good Morning, Dr. Daisy!
I am so glad I found your site. I relate to your desire to put your family first and to write and be creative. My husband says I am a writer, but I am afraid to take risks. I am thinking about creating a website and blog, but wonder if anyone will care about reading what I write. Thank you for all you are giving!
