My 8 week old son is smiling…and I am home to capture it. Why? Because of my desire and determination four years ago to start my own business.
I became tired of dropping off my kids for others to raise and enjoy. I became frustrated working hard for those who reaped all the benefits and showed little appreciation for my dedication and continual sacrifices.
And now, with my latest addition to my family, I get to support and come along besides some amazing internet entrepreneurs and be able to capture moments like these!

– General Definition
XML stands for Extensive Markup Language. It is the standard markup language used to define various types of data. It is created to enable data sharing among various systems patched by the Internet.
