I'm Moira, a 27 year old who grew up in upstate NY but now resides in GA

I am a stay at home mom to three girls (ages 8, 5 and 3. They are my world, though they definitely wear me out most days!

I am married, for 7 years now. (We've been together for 10) My husband is in the Navy and often times is gone more than he is home.

I will NEVER flake on a trade. I have had people flake on me in journal swaps and it really sucked to put in so much effort and get nothing in return. :(

I am a book junkie!! I wish I had more time to read though. I love YA, dystopian, supernatural, historical fiction (especially about Tudor England), chick-lit, true crime, memoirs, romance, erotica, etc I'll pretty much try any book!

I love far too many tv shows! House, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, Law and Order: SVU & CI, In Plain Sight, Numb3rs, Chopped, "reality tv" (True Life, Kardashians, 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom, etc

I love writing in/decorating journals and especially love trading them! Mine are pretty much full of whatever I feel like adding when I sit down to work on them. :)

I love smashbooks- now that I have a cinch I'm excited to experiment with binding my own!!

Writing and receiving long letters

I'm trying to venture into art journaling.
