I was born and raised in California. My parents taught me to work hard, play hard, and eat well.

I met and married my true love when I was 21. We both had the same dream of having a large family. After seven children, we felt complete. Our home is loud, busy, and awesome. I’m not the greatest mom, but I love my kids, and that’s all that really matters.

I love to run marathons and yes, I’m crazy.

I am a mommy blogger for Idaho Education News, check it out here.

I don’t like being cold, but I love to snow ski.

Making people laugh makes me feel all bubbly inside.
