A mom of three and partner to my perfect match. I have an awesome stepson (17), a daughter (6) and son (4). I homeschool the youngest two for fun and with a passion. We all love to learn and love life in general.

I enjoy creating things and always have a few projects going as they keep me sane and motivated. My interests are varied and span many types of craft: arts, hobbies, writing, and music. We love nature and enjoy hiking in all types of weather.

I love playmobil and toys in general. Dress up is still fun, costumes and such. Sometimes I think I got into the whole parenthood game to get back into the playroom.

I love to cook and enjoy recipes that feature fresh fruit and veggies, smoothies, oh - and chocolate stuff too. I love tea and coffee and all the stuff that goes with the ceremony of the morning cuppa.

For some who might get confused with this username I go by Mommylion in other places, but can't here since someone beat me to it.

Sting, he deserves his own line...

I will listen to anything pretty much. From classical to the newest stuff and most of the fringes. It is probably on my ipod.

iTunes is my weakness.

I love really great quotes. The kind that make you wake up and realize you are alive.

Young adult fantasy is my favorite genre to read. Like Philip Pullman, Susan Cooper, J K Rowling, Angie Sage, etc. All that stuff, I have always loved it. My favorite types of movies are along the same line as well. Lord of the Rings and such.

I also read some horror, drama, romance and classics. I will read anything from comic books to Shakespeare if it is in front of me.

What I buy verses borrow? Magazines and non-fiction books. Go figure. Love those too.

Favorite poets? E.E. Cummings, W.H. Auden, Yeats, Carl Sandburg, Rilke, Shakespeare, Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, John Hollander and Wistawa Szymborska

Mixed media collage, fine art, journaling, word art, sewing, knitting, costuming, fantasy dollhouse miniatures, polymer clay, sculpting, photoshopping... Craft supplies! I love them.
