(I look scary in this picture but hey, my sweater matches my blog header.:))


I am 29 years old (soon to be the big 3-0) and married to my High School sweetheart-it will be 9 years next summer! My hubby and I have three beautiful children-two boys and a girl. 

I am a homeschooling Mama. Our oldest, Noah, is in First Grade, our middle kiddo Josh is in Kindergarten this year (2011/2012).
