So this is me, surrounded by all things I love.....As you can see, I take myself *very* seriously.  I love making fish faces with my kids, fresh flowers, being a superstepmom to my 7yr old twins, my husband's architecturally-inspired artwork, and BettyCrockering as much as possible.  I take my job as a parent very seriously, and that is, to create, to love, and to nurture.  That's a nasty world out there, and it's my belief that wherever you go, there's where your home and your heart are.  And it all starts with YOU!!  Thanks to my fabulous family, life couldn't be grander than it is right now.  Welcome also my family's two dogs (Duke and Maddie), our cat (Dorrie), and our baby painted turtle (Crusher)!
