Ah, a fresh, clean slate. Everyone always uses their first post to tell you all about where they want their blog to go and why they started blogging in the first place. That stuff is kind of boring, and we have lots of time to tell you all about who we are! I think we’ll just say a quick hello in this first post and then cut immediately to the good stuff.

I’m Brianna (I go by Bri, pronounced like the cheese) and my co-blogger is Shari. Don’t call her Sharita; she hates that. We come from two different worlds – as different as Burlington, Ontario and Tulsa, Oklahoma can be. We both started businesses from home because we wanted to bring home some bacon in a real way and still be at home with our kids. (No, we don’t sell Mary Kay or Pampered Chef.) We began working together on various virtual business projects, and quickly discovered we have more in common than just working from home.

We decided that sharing our adventures in motherhood and business ownership would be fun – for us and for our like-minded, crazy, work-at-home counterparts out there. So, Applesauce and Email is where it all comes together – a mish-mash of stories, recipes, business advice, tips and whatever else we think you might want to read about. It’s the collision of motherhood and business, right here for all the world to see. You can cover your eyes for the scary parts.
