SkippyMom

I am a SAHM with a wonderful husband and 2 children at home. [We actually have 6 total!]

I enjoy all sorts of crafts and I love to make soaps, lotions, scrubs, bath salts and such.

I also LOVE to sew and quilt. I haven't mastered knitting or crocheting, but I wish I could.

We live pretty simply - we cook from scratch [except pie crusts HELP!] and try to keep frugal. It is fun and we have never lacked for anything.

Our home also includes our dachshund, Spot and our cockatiel, Trixie [although we think she is a he!]

I like all music. From Vivaldi to Rock and Roll to Country. My ipod is even filled half full with Disney tunes and my youngest is now 11. Go figure!

I enjoy biographies, autobiographies, history, murder mystery [not too gory though and nothing involving the death of a child] true crime and humor.

I don't watch a lot of present movies and we never pay the $11 to see a current run. I like older movies I guess. Hitchcock, Christmas themed, the original movie "The Women" -b&w genre such as that. However I [somehow] don't like "Casablanca" or "The Maltese Falcon". Who knew?

I watch, perhaps, 4 shows a day. "Good Morning America", "The Ellen Degeneres Show", "Wheel of Fortune" and "ABC Nightly News with Charles Gibson". We have cable!!!! But I don't watch it! LOL I am not against TV, I promise. My family loves it. I just don't find a lot to watch :D

Sewing, quilting, soap making, candle making, cooking, baking [but no pie crusts, sigh].

I also cartoon and love to decorate anything that comes near my huge set of Sharpie markers.

I know this sounds weird but I don't like chocolate candy [cookies and cocoa are fine] and I really don't care for anything that is purple. Purple was my mom's favorite color and for some reason she thought I should have everything purple. I even had a purple BLOWDRYER. Yes, they made those...lol...and now that I am old enough she still thinks it is funny to send me purple/lavender stuff.

For purposes of the swaps for the children my daughters are: Evelyn - age 11 Emily - age 16 Hello! My mom is letting me type about me. I am Evelyn. So I want you all to know that I absolutly LOVE sharks! I especially like great white sharks. Lately I have been reading vampire books. I am currently reading Vampire Diaries. I love it a lot! My favorite colors are lime-green and blue. I love the actors Vince Vaughn, Chris Brown and singer Freddie Mercury [of Queen], . I am 11 years old and my last fact is that I love the movie Without A Paddle. I hope you have a very happy new year!

We are avid football fans - [Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets] Our kids enjoy soccer and tak won do.
