I am a 37 year old mom who keeps busy with 4 fantastic children ages 16, 15, 14 and 4 year old toddler. I am an avid crafter, reader and writer.

When I am not at soccer, playing volleyball with the girls, running around for basketball or crafting you can usually find me here at hubpages reading or writing about my favorite things. I also regularily work on my hemp site and blog which also gives me great pleasure. I love interacting with the world wide web and making new friends. Check out my hubs and enjoy!
