I'm a work-at-home, formerly hip mom of two delightful children, a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy, along with three cats (there's a story for you sometime) and a dog (there's another). I've been with my husband (who's my best friend) for 13 years, married for 10.

Besides my family, I love cooking, music, working out (really!), gardening and reading, and have a totally manageable addiction to fat-free, no-whip mochas, my MacBook Pro, Facebook and chocolate (hence the working out) and am Queen of the Bargain Hunt. I hate mean people,  selfishness, and chickens.
