Known as an efficiency expert and serial entrepreneur by her family and friends, Roni Lambrecht has always been a forward thinker, spending her time working on projects to make life easier and more organized for everyone she connects with. If there's a way to do something with less time and less money, producing the same quality, Roni will find a way to make it happen. For the majority of her career, Roni has been in the mortgage and real estate industries, running her own successful loan document preparation and closing company since 1996 and becoming a REALTOR® in 2008.
Roni and her husband, John, have been happily married since 1995. Their beautiful son, Dalton, was with them for 15 years, and left for Heaven just after Christmas in 2013 due to injuries from an ATV vs. sandrail accident. Dalton lived his short life with the intent to create smiles, laughter, and happiness by sharing his kind spirit and helping others through tough times. Roni and John continue his legacy by counting their blessings for the short time they had him and practicing random acts of kindness in his memory, each and every day.
Roni's books, Parenting At Your Best, A Parent's Guide for Journaling to Their Child, and A Parent's Journal to Their Child are a tribute to Dalton, with anticipation that the stories and advice they offer will inspire others to excellence in their parenting.
