I am a stay at home mom. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and scrapbooking, not in that order. In the summer we go camping quite a bit. I am excited camping season is almost here and I will be able to bring our newest family member with us (My Pekingnese). I love animals. On top of having 6 children, we have 1 dog and 2 cats. We also just got a fish tank and 5 fish. Our children range in age from 5-15. 4 boys and 2 girls.

I like all kinds of music. Anything with a good beat. Some of my newest cd's include Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Pink. But my cd collection is full of different genra's. Lynard Skyard, Eminem, The Temptations, Shakira, Poison, ect. I am all over the place. One of my favorite cd's is License to Ill by the Beastie Boys. I don't really like anything too heavy be it rock or rap.

"The Promise" by Danielle Steel was my favorite book for many years. More recently I would say the "Twilight" series would be my favorite. It's funny because the only reason I started reading "Twilight" was because the set was given to me for my daughter (who had already read them) and I wanted to know what all the hype was about. Vampires were never a big interest for me. I also like "The Secret" and other books about the law of attraction. The last two books I read were "My Sisters Keeper" and "Water For Elephants". Both were very good.

The Princess Bride, Ghost, Titanic, 40 year old Virgin, Toy Story, Borat, The Trailer Park Boys, Step Brothers and lots more.

I don't really watch a lot of tv anymore. We used to watch House and Lie to Me. I liked those alot. We mostly watch Netflix now. Currently we have been watching The Trailer Park Boys. It is a Canadian Televison series and Movie.

I never really considered myself a crafty person, but I sure do a lot of scrapbooking!!! I can crochet...one stitch anyway. And I also love to cook. I consider that a craft.....making simple ingredients into a yummy meal. My first scrapbook was actually a cookbook. I also like photography.....I didn't say I was good at it though!
