I'm a wife to an amazing man and mother of 5 great kids and we all love the Lord! I work from home in the marriage ministry that my husband and I have been involved in for about two years. I'm a definite foodie and am totally into great cookbooks with pictures (always like to see an actual pic of what I'm making)! I love crafting and have a goal this year that each person I give a Christmas gift to will get at least one handmade gift from me.

I really don't have one favorite type of music though I mostly seem to listen to contemporary Christian music and some of my favorite artists are Nicole Nordeman, MercyMe, Chris Tomlin and Casting Crowns.

I also really LOVE James Taylor and Prince (I know...polar opposites!). I also enjoy music from the 40's (think Tommy Dorsey and Frank Sinatra), 70's (think the Eagles & Carly Simon) and the 80's (think Wham!, U2, Madonna - I grew up in the 80's so there's too many to list here).

And I can't forget salsa and classical and well, you get the picture.

I don't often get to sit down and actually read a book too often though I will say that I really love everything I've ever read by Elizabeth Berg.

Also LOVED the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and the Vampire Lestat series by Ann Rice.

Cookbooks are always wonderful and I just pour over them, even if I don't make anything from them there are just so many that are just gorgeous to look at you know?
