About Me
I am a 30-something former high school Biology teacher now turned stay-at-home mother of two young children. I have a 6 year old daughter and a 3 year old son, and most of the time I enjoy them. There are times when they drive me utterly bonkers, but even then I still love them. After all, it took a lot of effort to get them here.
I have a remarkable husband who I have been married to for nearly 10 years and he loves me dearly … faults and all. He is extremely supportive of me and who I am.
I am also LDS (Mormon) and I don’t know how I would function without the gospel in my life.
I love to read. I love to organize. I love things that are clean, but I don’t always like to do the cleaning. I love to go to the gym - mainly because I am grumpy when I don’t go. I also love to eat good food - good bread and good chocolate are a must have.
I live in the rainy and gloomy, but sometimes sunny Pacific Northwest. My husband is attending graduate school and he should be done with his doctorate within a little over a year … at least we are hoping that that is the truth. Who knows where we will be after that?!?

Hi - thanks for sending this - I wish I would get into blogging, but I probably won’t. But I will enjoy visiting your blog. Luv, Dana

I have something I want to send you (inspired from your WFMW tip about including notes in Christmas stockings).
Would you mind sending me your email address. My email is adoptive_mom_1@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Hello,
I opened your Blog from my daughter, Erin’s links. I too am soooo very happy to have the gospel in my life. Something is happening to a couple that go to my ward and I am very sad about it. When I heard they may become less active I became very sad and wondered how the husband, especially, could leave the church. He had gone on a mission. I have more of an appreciation for the gospel in my life because of what they are going through.

Hi…I just found your blog. Love it! I don’t know if this will help you spend more time with your family or not, but I organize blog tours for authors. Would you be interested in reviewing books on your blog or just blogging about books every so often? Send me an email and I’ll send you more info.
I live in the Pacific northwest too! Nice to meet you!

Love your blog! Found it linked from a Martha Stewart forum. And then I found out you were also LDS, as am I! Thanks for uplifting my afternoon!
