What are you proud of?
I am proud of my husband and my family. I couldn't live without any of them.
Soup
What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
I won a beautiful bouquet of flowers once at Mother's Day. It was a great Mother's day gift:)
Salad
Name something you do that is a waste of time.
Probably sitting in front of the tv on the weekends when i know i have housework to do. I just like the down time sometimes.
Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?
I would say it was the year we had our first child. Nothing will grow you up more than having another life to take care of.
Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
My front porch swing. I like to sit out on the swing and just watch what is going on outside and listen to the birds sing.

Busy, busy, busy
Haven't been posting much lately because real life has taken over:)My daughter has had her friend from Ohio here for the last week and we have been entertaining them all week,what with work and school going on too. It is amazing how much more you do with just one more person in the house. We have had a great time this week but man am I ready for the kids' spring break!!!! It starts on Monday and it will be really nice to just be able to wake up and do whatever instead of the same old rush out the door to school. It will be nice to have extra help here at the house too.
It is suppose to be warm this week finally!!!! I am soooo ready for warmer weather. I have had enough of the snow and cold. We have not had to wear our winter coats at all this last week which is wonderful!!! Spring is my absolute favorite time of the year!!!
Hope to post more this week since our life is hopefully slowing down. Have a great weekend everyone.
