Welcome to the place where rebels gather.  OK, there really isn’t anything rebellious about this blog, but there is the irony.  Rebellin is actually a play off of my last name.  My name is Lynnette, and I have been blogging since February 2002.  My first blog was manually edited in Frontpage, so those entries live only on my computer.  I started blogging as a way to enhance my web skills, but found it was an excellent outlet for the unpublished writer in me.  You can read my online archives dating back to 2003.

I am a married mother of one who works full time, and I write about my daily life here.  This blog has evolved to update family and friends on our life, which may seem boring to some people.  But let me tell you, it keeps the grandparents happy! 

I live in Reno, Nevada, and work for the largest software company in the world.  I love to experience the outdoor adventures in our area, including skiing, hiking, camping, and open water swimming. 

I learn every day from my daughter, Little Miss.  She recently became a toddler, and I’m scrambling to chase after her and deal with her tantrums.  I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.  And it makes for some funny stories to tell. 

Being a working mother has its unique challenges, including juggling work responsibilities, a sick kid getting kicked out of daycare, and dealing with daycare in general.   I explore thoughts on being a working mother here.  I fully respect stay-at-home-moms (SAHM), and realize they have challenges of their own.  I can only write from my perspective, so please don’t think this blog has anything to do with the Mommy Wars between working moms and SAHM.
