Monica (Atkinson) Wood

I have two beautiful children TJ (13) and Abby (10) from a previous marriage. I swore that I would NEVER remarry, but then I met the most amazing man, the only one who has ever been able to keep up with me, and I re-married a year ago. I finally had my dream wedding on the beach in Mexico, my daughter was my flower girl and my son walked me down the sandy isle and gave me away. I have 3 step-children and I am the epitome of the wicked "Step-Monster!" (insert evil laugh here)

I'm constantly running ragged with my children and all their sports/activities, while also working full-time at Micron Technology for the last 17 years as a Patent Prosecution Paralegal/Supervisor.  As if that isn't enough to keep me busy, my best friend and I have recently started our own e-commerce business, CHACHKIS Home Décor. Its been crazy setting up vendor booths for local Tradeshows, our website will go live the 1st of July, then we'll start attending the World Wide Tradeshows, our first trip scheduled for China in the fall…..yahooo!   It'll be a juggling act for awhile, but with the love and support of my husband, I'll manage to get through this rough time of having to shop and travel for a living….smile!

See you all soon
