This is the first group like this I have ever joined. I am 34, married with 2 boys, ages 5 and 3. I have an English teaching degree, but prefer to wait tables. I also am an Usborne Books consultant. I love promoting literacy!!

I love pretty much all kinds of music, except rap and elevator music. Some of my faves include The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, The Grateful Dead, I could go on and on.

I have not been able to read anything in the past 5 years that could not be labeled as children's literature, other than the occasional gardening or Family Fun magazine. Of course my favorite books are Usborne Books. I especially like reading my sons The Illustrated Stories for Boys.

I love all kinds of movies. I really like a lot of action. I love all of the superhero movies like X-Men, Electra, Spiderman, Daredevil, etc. I also love all of the great movies for the kids. Alvin and the Chipmunks was great! I also love A Bug's Life, Mulan, The Fox and The Hound, Barnyard, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cutthroat Island, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, and any suspenseful movie.

I have many! I have a DVR, so now I can watch everything! I love CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Samantha Who?, Psych, The Dead Zone, Without a Trace, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice, Women's Murder Club, Bonanza, Days of Our Lives (when the prime time seasons are over), Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight and Jericho (even though they got cancelled :( ), The Unit, and Law and Order SVU.

I teach Children's Church, so those are the only crafts I do. We usually do things that are quick and pertain to the lesson. I also do Face Painting, so I can use sponges and brushes and face paint.

My sons and I collect Justice League action figures. We are always looking for more. I also collect post cards, unused stamps, and foreign currency. I can always use picture frames, because I hate to give out my son's new pictures to family without them being framed. I am addicted to those little dip mix sample packs from the different food companies. I love spinach dip, onion dip and any of the dessert dips. I love, love, love chocolate, all kinds of chocolate. I also love kitchen towels. I love shower gel. I use it in the shower and at every sink for hand soap. My kids love flavored chapsticks. We go through quite a few of those.
