Hello, My name is Joanie. I have 5 awesome kids. 4 boys and 1 girl. I come from a family of 7, 6 girls and 1 boy, who is my twin. I'm a small town kind of girl who never meets a stranger. I LOOOVE to talk. My favorite subject is anything to do with parenting.. I love animals. We have 4 dogs, 2 cats and a hermit crab. I've been married for 15 years. I love to help at my kids school every chance I get. I don't have much self-confidence, but try to give my kids total confidence in themselves. I love to shop for my kids, but only shop for mysel when I have to ( and even then sometimes take it back because I feel guilty for buying myself something).
