My Website

Favorite Music

I like a variety, depends on the mood. I enjoy Celine Dion, some Alternative Rock, Elton John and even sometimes a country song. My Husband listens to Heavy Metal and my children to the Jonas Brothers so I get exposed to all kinds :)

Favorite Books

I Love to read but seldom read an actual book anymore. I do most of my reading online. If I'm reading a book it's typically about photography or some type of self help book about children, etc. I also tend to read US (celebrity tabloid!) magazines while waiting in the car to pick up children from school! As for Authors though, I loved books by Wally Lamb, Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele and some good trashy ones by Jackie Collins. I prefer stories set in recent/modern times, not historical.

Favorite Crafts

I have been enjoying sewing again lately after not doing it for nearly a decade. I think having a new baby after 12 years has inspired me again:) I get excited over buying fabric and embroidery files, I'm a sewing geek :) (again) I Love fun prints like Sock Monkeys or other fun childrens prints as my children are the main recipients of my crafting. Love animal prints and bright colors. Other than that I do kid crafts with my children on occasion and use my photography as my main creative outlet :)

Favorite Television

I Love reality shows. My favorite one is Big Brother. I also Love Desperate Housewives, Greys Anatomy, Ellen, John and Kate plus 8 and after 20 years of not watching "soaps" I began watching The Young and the Restless a couple of years ago during the summer when there was no good television and have been hooked ever since. Tivo has turned me into a Television watcher again.

About Me

I am happily married and the Mother of 6! We have a "blended" family and recently welcomed our one and only child "together" and the whole family are enjoying her immensely! I have a small Photography business that I can work around my childrens schedules, etc. and still be a SAHM. I'm a strict parent with traditional ideas regarding my kids but with a big sense of humor (we're totally not politically correct parents, lol) and goofy personality to balance out the uptight Mom moments! I enjoy cooking, surfing the net, drinking coffee in bed on the weekends and also, I love Labradors! I have a two year old Chocolate that I Love madly! We also have two cats that have made me learn to like cats a lot less............ With this being my last child and being a bit older now, I've made it a point to try everything I've ever wanted when parenting a baby. Therefore, I happily cloth diaper, co-sleep (most of the time) etc. and have been having a lot of fun learning how to be a bit more "green" and save money at the same time.

Comment: Thank you thank you thank you! I opened my package from you and I was so excited about what was inside...my son is just beginning to get interested in Curious George, and I am going to save the book (he loves to be read to!), super soft minky blankie for Violet, and plush monkey for a gift for both my children for Christmas! Also thanks so much for the extra fabric for me. ;-) I can't tell you how much I appreciate these gifts...that was so thoughtful of you - I would give you 5 hearts if I could! Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!
Response: I am so pleased to hear that you liked your gifts! I overthink everything and worried you might not since even though I read your entire profile I veered off on my own idea, lol. A theme. I also know you're a talented seamstress so I hoped you wouldn't mind part of the gift being handmade by me, i'm obsessed with Minky "Lovies". I'm super excited to hear your little ones will get it as a Christmas surprise.

Response: Glad you enjoyed it. Ghiardelli are some of my favorite chocolates and they are made near where I live :) I added the others in the hope that I would be sure to give you at least one item you could not get where you live :)

Comment: I love this recipe! Here in Utah, we call it Funeral Potatoes though because it is served at the lunch that follows all the Mormon funeral! :0)

Comment: thank you for the doggie postcard! it's such a great photo! reminds me of the dogs i used to work with at the airport! :) i do miss northern california! and i have heard of Discovery Bay, but didn't get a chance to spend much time there. how is the weather?
Response: The weather is beautiful. However, It wouldn't hurt my feelings any if it was about 10 degrees cooler :) I just spent several days in Texas and they're starting to cool off slightly there so I got spoiled! Thanks for the comment, glad you liked your postcard.
