About Me

I obviously LOVE to read! I also like camping, hiking and just spending time with the family. I'm a mother of two, 8 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl, so I don't get to read as many adult books as I would like. Though luckily both kiddos started school, so they are learning to read by themselves.

Our animal family members include: Freddy and Shaggy, 2 year old brother kitties, Daphne, a 1 year old black kitten (can you tell we are Scooby Doo fans?) We just adopted a beautiful 3yr old dog named Sunshine.

•  
• Allergies: None 
•  
• Bags: No preference, I'd like a small messenger bag. (see my Kaboodle list for ideas)
•

•  
• Collect: I collect piggy banks (actual pigs). I collect BIG old ceramic bowls and food advertising tin signs. I'm always at the antique shops looking for them.

• Kids:    ~Zack, 8 (10/02/00) ls currently into Star Wars legos and all things scary; monsters, dragons.   ~Halie, 6 (08/14/02) is a girly tomboy. She loves dresses, Bratz and princesses, but may go play in the mud with them.
