<p>fourkidsmom, my PM box constantly fills up and it is hard to keep up with it. I prefer to not use it much as it is one more thing to check on top of my personal email account, two work emails, and Facebook. 
If you click my member name, there is an option to “send an email” and so try that. </p>
<p>Please understand that a LOT of CCers (not just the MT forum but including participants on CC’s other forums which I also participate on) send me PMs or emails very frequently asking for individualized advice. I love to help people. I honestly cannot keep up with the individual requests that come in daily or I’d be volunteering full time. I spend many hours volunteering on CC to help many at one time (I hope), as well as participate as a parent like anyone else of course. I do that instead of handling individualized requests. This is a very busy time of year as I work as a college counselor and am heavily immersed in application season with my senior advisees and so have to make sure I help them each day and can’t get to all the individual volunteer emails/PMs. So, please keep that in mind if you choose to email me.</p>
