Mrs. America Vicki Sarber

What a stunning picture of your Mrs. America, Vicki Sarber.

This would be a great time to meet her:

I’m Vicki Sarber and my husband Greg and I are lifelong Alaskans. We have been blissfully married for 12 years and choose to live and raise our three vibrant children in the small fishing community of Homer Alaska…Halibut Capital of the World! On any given day expect to see us at the beach, fishing, clamming, bird watching, skiing, snow machining or volunteering alongside our fellow neighbors for whatever project is in need.

I am an A.S.I.D. interior designer by profession and am certified in the decorative artistry of faux painting and floral design. I also have the pleasure of doing voice and TV spots for our local networks. That being said, I have happily taken leave from the design world to enjoy what matters most….my family. Life goes by so quickly, I don’t want to miss a minute with Jackson, 9; Vianne, 8 and Pinky who is very 2! That’s why it’s an easy decision to be a devoted wife, stay at home mom and home school teacher.

Greg and I believe firmly that being a parent is the hardest and most important thing we will ever do in life. Our children are gifts to the world! Too many of them are not reaching their potential by not having a safe, loving and stable family. It is our duty to protect and advocate for all children, they are our most valuable resource and our best chance for a great tomorrow! Listen to the dreams of our children, lift them up on eagles wings and watch them soar…..let us always put family first!

Interview Suit Ideas

One of the easiest parts of the competition is interview.  Why do I say that statement?  Because it is all about you.  No one knows you better than yourself and that is the goal of the personal interview, to share yourself with the judges.  Interview competition starts with looking like the next Mrs. Ohio America 2013.

A great form fitting sheath dress, add amazing shoes and maybe a statement piece of jewelry. Done!  Here is what you ask yourself once you have the suit on your body, 'Do I feel like Mrs. Ohio America 2013?'  Based on your answer, you are either done or not.  Happy hunting!  Also follow Mrs. Ohio America Pinterest Boards for more ideas.

Faith - The Power Of Believing That You Can

Directly taken from the book, 'Some of My Best Friends Are Beauty Queens' by Tricia Dampier.

Do you look to others for the nod of approval? Do you solicit the opinion of people before deciding to go out on a limb and try something new?  Are your self-defeating thoughts robbing you of your dreams/destiny?  Or worse yet, is someone else's negativity holding you back?  If you've answered yes to any of these questions you may want to reflect inward and look upward for the courage to believe that you can.

This book is part memoir and part how-to, that teaches you how to summon the courage to overcome self-doubt, and take steps to conquer the fear of failure.  www.girl-speak.com
