I'm a graphic designer by trade but right now my main job is stay-at-home-mom. :) I have two sons, ages 4 and 6. I keep busy running them around all day!

I love art - I've taken tons of art classes and studied lots of art history. I love it all! I especially love to draw and watercolor paint. And from that love, I found a new love: scrapbooking! I keep scrapbooks for the family and have one for each of the kids...so I spend a lot of time working on that. I love my Cricut personal electronic cutter! I use that a lot these days. I also enjoy cardmaking and creating ATCs!

I like to listen to music - mostly stuff in the top 100. I LOVE to read. I like musical theater and love to go see live shows.

My husband and I spend time playing board games with our friends. We really enjoy all kinds of board games.

I'm trying to build my relationship with God/Jesus. I've been a Christian my whole life, but have recently realized I need God in more of my daily life. I'm really interested in learning about the Bible, Bible studies, journaling my prayers, religious philosophies, and Christian inspirational items I can surround myself with so that God is at the front of my mind all day. I'm learning to seek God's will for me and our family.

I love coffee. I have one of those personal Keurig brewers, and frequent Starbucks. I also frequent Jamba juice and have been making lots of smoothies at home. Yum!

Our family is really into DISNEY. We love to get to Disneyland as often as we can. We live in California, so we can drive there. Really the only thing stopping us from going every break is that we don't have unlimited money (who does?!). Otherwise, we'd be there all the time! We love Disney destinations - Disney Cruises, Walt Disney World. We even took our honeymoon at Disney World!

I love to read! I like reading spiritual books and modern faves. I enjoyed the Twilight and Harry Potter series. Some of the books I've enjoyed recently include: No Greater Love by Mother Teresa and Thomas Moore, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis, and Dry by Augusten Burroughs. I also like using Scrapbook/Cardmaking inspirational books and magazines.

Moulin Rouge!, Muriel's Wedding, Dogma, Harry Potter, most comedies.
