I'm a wahm of 3 teenage girls & one little boy.

I prefer blue jeans over dresses,
foreign beer over wine,
and a hard workin' man who isn't afraid to get dirty...
over a suit and tie kinda guy.

I love the sunshine
but there's nothing like a good winter storm
here on the Great Pacific Northwest.

I love rainbows that touch down on both ends,
I giggle when it starts to hail,
and enjoy the excitement of the winter power outages
as long as it's not for more than 1 day. (smiles)

I'm a hopeless romantic and almost any
chick-flick will do.

Partner that with any of my gal pals
and it's a perfect equation to a fun time
for this mom who likes to keep it simple.

Oh, and I can't forget the fact
that I'm crazy about chocolate.

Dark chocolate is best when partnered
with fine and fattening ingredients
like caramel, nuts and that truffel stuff.

Hmmm.......

I'm originally from the fast paced
County of Orange in Sunny SoCal.

My hubby swept me off my feet
and brought me to the Washington coast
and we've been here since 1996.

I wouldn't trade small town living
for the world.

I love my life!

Okay, so I'm one of those moms who had a little surpise in my mid 30's.

Well, let's just say it wasn't so 'little'. I was shocked speechless and spent
the next 8 months or so sorting it all out.

Honestly, I had just joined a gym 2 weeks prior to getting pregnant
so one of the ways I learned to deal with my ever-so-changing body
was to remind myself ......

that I'd have TIGHT abs again.....

at least until I gave birth.

Ha!

This picture was taken and sent out as a 'thank you' card to all my
guests at the baby shower.

I LOVED including my girls in this pregnancy. What a gift!
