HappyAtHome

I am married and a mother of 2. My daughter is 11 and my son is 5. I married my elementary school crush (we've known eachother for 23+ years!) I don't work, but I am taking online classes for Accounting. In my free time I enjoy taking my kids to the library, to our local amusement park, skating, bowling, & swimming. We also enjoy camping in the summer time. I don't like hiking, but nice (level) walking trails are fine for me. I really enjoy riding dirt bikes and our ATV in the Rocky Mountains. While at home I love to cook and bake. I love looking through my cookbooks or swapping recipes with my neighbors and cook or bake something new and different. My favorite color is pink and purple and I love butterflies and anything girly. Other than that I'm pretty plain. I'm not a high-maintenance girl who likes to go tanning or to hair and nail salons other than the VERY occasional pedicure. I'm not very creative and don't have a great sense of decorating style so it's always nice to see things that other people have made or ideas on how to decorate rooms in the house.

I like ALL kinds of music. I listen to everything from Country and R&B to 80's Rock and Alternative. My #1 favorite is probably country music though, it's what I listen to the most.

I haven't had the chance to read a book in quite awhile since I've been busy with school and the kids but my favorite books are true crime. I've read so many true crime books and they seem to hold my attention where I can't put the book down and end up finishing it in just a few days. The whole Twilight series we're REALLY good too!

I love movies! My family and I sit down almost each night after dinner and watch a movie. We even try to go to the theater once/week! I also enjoy going to the drive-in theater as well. I like all types of movies. Romantic Comedies are my favorites, but I also love Dramas and some scary movies. The Twilight movies are my absolute favorite! Breaking Dawn was definitely the best, can't wait for part 2!

I don't watch a whole lot of TV during the day, mostly just movies I the evenings but when I do get a chance I mostly watch the News. Wheel of Fortune is a favorite as well as anything on HGTV.

I haven't had time to do many crafts lately besides sewing Girl Scout patches on my daughter's sash but I do know how to sew and I have a sewing machine. I also like to stitch using plastic canvas and also counted cross stitch, but again haven't had much time to sit down and start a project. I've also really been wanting to take some cake decorating classes so I can bake and decorate the kids' cakes for their birthdays. I'd also love to learn to knit and crochet.

My daughter Ashleigh is 11 going on 21 and likes anything girly. She's really into FaceBook, playing games online, her IPod Touch, her pink laptop and her PS3 and Wii. Her favorite color is green and she likes nail polish and lipgloss or chapstick, but no other makeup. She loves body glitter, body wash and body spray and different perfumes. She has medium length hair so she also enjoys pretty headbands or hair ties. She really isn't into reading, but she likes to write and draw so she likes stationary, pens, markers and pretty paper, etc. She's small for her age and she only wears a size kids medium or 8-10 in clothes.

Noah is 5 and he's all boy! He's rough and likes rough things like monster trucks, skateboards, matchbox cars, etc. Noah is average for his age, and he wears a size 5 in clothes. He has a Nintendo 3DS and a Wii that he loves to play with. He likes dirtbike and monster truck games. He also has an electric dirtbike that he rides around a lot. He loves to be outside and likes to get dirty. He likes sand, dirt and mud and digging in all of it. He just started Kindergarten so he's really into school supplies and learning games like flash cards, puzzles, etc. He's likes to write and draw and color and cut with scissors. On tv he likes anything on Disney, Nickelodeon and Sprout. He's also really into Power Rangers right now!

I love anything pink and/or purple, butterflies, dragonflies, cupcake themed items, recipes, stationary, address labels, dish towels for my kitchen (any color/style), candy, pens, notecards, greeting cards, nail polish (any color), lotions, body wash, jewerly (white gold or silver), stickers, glitter/sparkly things, magnets, anything from a different country, anything homemade, anything for my kids!

There's not a lot of things I dislike but here's a few: yellow gold jewerly, nuts (I'm not allergic, I just don't like them), coffee or tea - but my husband does so if I receive either of those he'll definitely drink it! dark chocolate, peanut butter, VHS movies, pieces of ribbon, yarn or string.
