Contact Information:
Hi! My name is Rachel Paxton, and I have been a freelance writer and the webmaster of this web site for more than 16 years. I am the mother to five children, ages 25 to 4, and foster mom to one. I have a BA degree in English and business.
I love taking care of my children and my home and finding new things to write about every day, from crafts, to cooking, to gardening. My favorite hobbies are reading and scrapbooking. I also love doing preschool at home with our youngest son. My newest hobby is Pinterest! Follow my boards on Pinterest to see what I have been up to. You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
To contact me, or for interview and/or freelance writing requests, you can contact me at rachel@creativehomemaking.com.
Throughout the years I have written hundreds of home- and family-related articles. In 2013, I am starting to publish a series of ebooks available for Amazon Kindle.
