Full time working mom to two awesome kiddos. In addition to working full time, I just opened an on-line scrapbooking & paper crafting kit store, which has been quite the adventure! I have slight addiction to Starbucks and a huge sweet tooth! I love to cook and try new recipes, with Food Network being one of the main channels our family watches. Silly socks (except for toe socks) - make me happy. In my free time, I love scrapbooking, card making, reading and creating unique hair bows and embellishments for my daughter. I'm excited to expand my crafting other items - like jewelry, altered canvases, hand-sewn embellished t-shirts, tutus, etc.

I have a pretty eclectic array of musical tastes - I listen to everything from modern country (mixed with Johnny Cash), current top 40s, 90s alternative, R&B, swing, jazz and classical.

I'm a voracious reader! My fave books are the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, anything by Steve Berry, Pride & Prejudice, anything by Diana Galbadon, Elizabeth Lowell, Iris Johansen & Sherrilyn Kenyon.

All time favorite: You've Got Mail Also up there: Notting Hill, Love Actually, Remember the Titans, Remember Me, The Hangover, Hairspray, Mama Mia

Glee, Gray's Anatomy, West Wing, Friday Night Lights, Project Runway, Top Chef, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, My Fair Wedding, Sons of Anarchy, Parenthood
