MomZoo

I'm a mom of 4 very active kids. 2 boys (11 & 8) and 2 girls (10 & 2). Been a stay-at-home for 3 yrs and love it. Life/kids keep me busy. Kids and I are very busy with sports.....soccer and football. I coach soccer also. I don't look my age (love it) and have been told by my kids/nieces that I'm a hip dresser & very "modern". I love to laugh.....very important. Nothing phases me. Love to scrapbook, cook/bake, photography, SHOP, music, gardening and swapping.

I speak & write 4 languages........Greek, English, French and Italian.

Used to go off-roading with my husband, but since having the kids back to back, haven't tried it for awhile. Guess it will be like riding a bike.

Love equestrian.......prefer english saddle but do western also.

Since I'm a water sign........love anything to do with water....swimming, oceans, bubble baths, pools, etc....

I'm 5 feet tall......yes, I'm petite, but have the energy, drive and stamina of 2!!! I wear a size 4 (after 4 kids.....I'm blessed).

I love shoes!!!! Runners, high heels, boots, flip flops, stiletto sandals!!! A girl can't have too many! (size 6/small)

Love girlie girl things, but can compete like a tomboy!!!!

Love watching comedies.....whether it's a big screen movie or a sitcom. Laughter is the best medicine!!!!!

Love to read!!! My interest in books ranges from supernatural to romance. I also love the classics.......Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austin, etc........

Music interest varies also. It ranges from Techno, Bellydancing (Mediterranean blood), some country, to Sean Paul, P Diddy, Davinity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls to old school rock (KISS, AEROSMITH, AC/DC).....when your children listen to different varieties of music.....you learn to go with the flow.

There are no allergies in this household!

Other than my husband and 4 children, we also have 2 spoilt dogs (both females).....one is a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix, the other one is a Miniature Poodle. Then, we have a female cat (we ALL know she's the boss) and my eldest son owns a Degu (looks like an oversized Gerbil....they are Diabetic by nature).

I think it's great to have a forum just for swapping.........truly hoping I don't get flaked!

I am entering this info for myself and my kids (they are a BIG part of my life). They so enjoy getting things also in my mail, and they also like to help pick out things for my partners (they are becoming excellent future swappers)
