Apprenticeship Alum
I have two beautiful girls, twelve years apart. I have a husband who makes me laugh harder than anyone else, and I make money doing the one thing I truly enjoy doing; writing. Not just here, but in my blog: http://blessedlifewithchildren.com/ In short, I am blessed.
For those who know me well, know that I forget my keys daily, at least, and have locked them in my car-- running-- on more than one occasion. I seldom know where my purse is and couldn't keep a clean house if my life depended on it. Fortunately, I love to read, learn, and love. It is these qualities and much more that has allowed me to be the writer that I am. My interests are random and fleeting at best. I love researching and reading, and often write about the things I've learned along the way.
I am a nerd at heart and have authored numerous articles on fossils-- which fascinate me beyond belief, history--which I feel we can always learn from, and foster care--which is near and dear to my heart, since I am a foster parent.
I'll never boast to be the world's greatest grammarian, or the most intriguing writer, but I can boast that I do what I am passionate about and that is to write.
