As you have probably guessed from exploring my webpage, I am an avid cook. Anything that has April's at the end is my own creation. I'm constantly coming up with more, but I don't get around to posting the new ones very often. You can check out some of my recipes here.

I also do all kinds of arts and crafts, including some of just about everything. I spent years in band, love to draw and doodle, make afghans knit and woven, embroider, make rag rugs, baskets, paint stuff, scrapbook... etc etc. I tossed a tiny portion of my arts and crafts on the page if you want to have a look. I also have some posted at Deviant Art.

I live with my husband Justin and our two kids, William (Will) and Evelyn (Lyn). Will was born July 1 2006 at 27 weeks 5 days, 2 lb 11 oz after a horrible pregnancy with hyperemesis gravidarum followed by unexplained preterm labor and is now a happy, healthy almost 2 year old. Lyn arrived March 5, 2008, full term after a very long high risk pregnancy with lots of interventions to keep her from coming as early as her brother.
