Brenda Sajewski

Brenda was born and raised in upstate New York.  She is married to Bob, an officer in the United States Marine Corps, and has lived in Virginia, California, Illinois, Japan, North Carolina, and now in Keller, Texas.  Brenda and Bob have three children, Alex, Katie and Emma, and a sweet beagle, Gracie.

After a decade of being a legal assistant, Brenda switched career paths and has been an educator for the past 12 years.  Currently, she teaches 3^rd grade in Texas.  Brenda keeps busy trying to deplete her “to-do” list running around with the kids to their various functions and hobbies.  Brenda enjoys using the DVR to stay current on talk shows (are women talking over each other a true talk show?), news shows (is the Insider a news show?), reality shows (how does the rest of America live?), and the sappy dramas (how many tissues will I need this week?).  Brenda is a “sleep deprived” working mom because she stays up too late to get the programs on the DVR off her “to-do” list.

Relaxing and longing for the days of “to-do” lists will come later.  For now, knowing there are four people (and a dog) relying on Brenda, and her “to-do” list, keeps her busy and happy.

Alyson Gilmore

Alyson, a California native, lives in San Diego with her husband, Doug, and their three children, Bailey, Griffin, and Kiley. 

Working part-time as a radiation therapist (treating cancer patients) allows her to pursue the lofty occupations of afternoon child chauffeur, homework helper, short-order-cook, nursemaid, housemaid, Girl Scout leader, team parent, as well as coordinator and scribe of the ever-challenging family calendar.

Her foundation of faith and family keep her grounded. Her love of oaky chardonnay and close friends keep her smiling, and keep her sane.
