I live in beautiful Colorado with my husband of 13 years and my 3 active and wonderful children. I stay at home, or rather, am a limo service for the older children. In my spare time I try to keep the little one from hurting himself or destroying my hair color.

Balagan means "chaos." And with 3 kids, 3 cats, a husband and a house, my life is anything but calm. It's fun and something I never knew as an only child.

I am an avid quilter. I also like other crafts projects, like making simple bracelets or decoupage picture frames.

I love to travel and would like to do more of it with the kids. We took them to Israel in 2006. This past summer I drove them to California (and home again!) We had a blast hiking and exploring and taking our time there and back. The little one even managed to hike a mile and a half on his own.

I am friendly but I tend to be very shy, even on line. So I am looking forward to pulling myself out of my shell and meeting some new friends.
