My name is Beth. I'm a 21 year old mama.

I would LOVE to do some private swaps here and there - feel free to send me a message if you want to swap!

I call Kansas City home. It's a bittersweet feeling... I'd rather be in Louisiana or New York City, but being in the city here warms my heart.

I love to sew and have really been getting into all kinds of crafts. I love cooking and photography. Anything with a creative outlet. (I'm learning to scrapbook - I'm not very good at it yet, to say the least, but I'm working hard!)

I fell in love with colorguard when I joined the Winterguard my sophomore year of high school - if you have any idea what I'm talking about, I love you too. The thought of being smacked in the face/head with a flag pole or butt, rifle, or sabre doesn't even phase me anymore.

I wear a size small in most clothes, tops and bottoms, sometimes medium. Or a 2 - 4 in US size.

• Levi - Birthday: October 4, 2011. my little bear ("The Bear," "LeviBear," "Baby Bear" are among his nicknames).

He is currently in size 2T clothes, and size 8 shoes, and he has a huge head. haha.

Levi loves his teddy bears, Toy Story, and lately Thomas the train. He's your typical almost-two year old, really... blocks, books, movies, legos... anything he can shake and make noise, he loves. Especially books and stuffed animals and cars... my goodness he can't get enough lately.
