Welcome!

I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m Tracy and I’m the face of Sharing Because. I’m a mom to four, a recent bonus mom to three, a new grandma to THE most adorable grandson ever, AND a consummate sharer of things I love. My friends know that I am really good at finding great deals and when I do, I can’t keep it to myself. So, whether it be a daily deal from Amazon, a great buy from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, travel deals, yummy recipes, a great book, or even the best Kansas City happy hours, there’s a chance you will see it on Sharing Because. The Sharing Because Facebook group was started as a platform to share all these things and more! As our community has grown, so has my love for sharing daily sales for a wide variety of online retailers, my favorite things and great deals for things you never knew you needed! Nothing makes me happier than a Sharing Because member asking me to keep my eyes open for a deal on something they are looking to purchase.

In my former life, I was in corporate consulting with one of the “Big Eight” accounting firms (I’m old!) and ended up in Marketing & Communications arena which I absolutely loved. When I was pregnant with my 2nd child in 1995, I started my own stationery company, Noteworthy Occasions, which I still operate today. I’m a sucker for a written note, beautiful invitations, holiday cards, personalized note cards and paper! My entrepreneurial spirit has come in handy as I was widowed at the age of 40 and had four young children, age 12 and under at the time. I tried to manage the corporate career and being a single mom for awhile, but I ultimately decided that I needed to be home with my kids. I will forever be thankful that I had started this stationery company and was able to use that business to launch my “at home” career trajectory.

I’m also a Consultant with a line of fabulous skincare products from Rodan + Fields. To be very honest, I only joined the company for the product discount (remember, I LOVE a great deal and I love sharing things I love with my friends!), but I’ve been with the company for nearly 11 years and love it more now than when I first began. The products are fabulous (I never thought I’d be a product junkie, but look at me now), but the friendships I have made are some of the best of my life! It’s been a wonderful stay-at-home “job” even though it has never felt like work to me. I love nothing more than helping my customers address their skincare concerns and getting great results from our products that work! And, it’s a true joy for me to work with and mentor my teammates across the United States and celebrate their success!

As you can see, I’ve got lots to SHARE, thus Sharing Because! I hope you’ll stop by often and find content that is helpful to you! I’d love it if you’d say “hi” and let me know where you’re from!
