Author Bio

Tammy Bassett is a speaker and the author of the Mopping Up Your Blessings blog. She was born and raised a country girl whose roots run deep in the mountains of Appalachia. She has worked a wide variety of jobs ranging from radio to insurance agent. She is now a working mom with five amazing daughters (ages 13 to 27). She uses her accounting and business administration degree to help run her busy household.
She loves spending time with her family and and spends a lot of her day trying to conquer the obstacles in her home, such as the laundry pile (nicknamed Mt. Wash-more) which is her nemesis. Some days she wins and some days she doesn’t, but she always gets up the next day and tries again.
She also loves camping with her family as long as there is a camper with air conditioning, a comfy bed, and indoor plumbing. Her downfall is her obsession with iced coffee. Thankfully the closest Starbucks is an hour from her home, or she would be broke. She also loves reading and learning new skills such as homesteading, being more self-sustainable, gardening and foraging.

She relates the most to her favorite animal, the alpaca. They are both kind of weird and look like they are two months past due on a haircut. Much like alpacas she makes a gentle humming noise when happy and if irritated she often stamps the ground with her feet. Much to her disappointment, her backyard is not large enough for her to have her own alpaca (or twenty.)

But more than anything, she loves the Lord and is growing more in her faith each day and hopes to inspire others to do the same. She wants everyone to understand that God’s grace is truly amazing and has changed her from the inside out and he can do the same for you.
