I am a married, stay at home mom to 5 great kids. They are my inspiration for almost all of my craft ideas and projects. I am a former High School Science Teacher (Human Biology and Biology)and love teaching and learning new things.
I enjoy photography, sewing (if it is a quick and easy project), knitting, crocheting, drawing, and baking. I love nature and being outdoors. Our family loves to go hiking and camping together. I also love running when I can find some free time to go.
I love reading a good book and have lately found that I can work on a project while listening to a book on tape. I love music and my i-pod can be usually found close by.
And last but not least, I love CHOCOLATE! To view my blogger profile, click here.

One of the best blogs I've found! And I found you through http://www.craftfail.com where someone tried to make your "Jell-O Blood worms" Brilliant!! I am so happy to have found your site. My husband and I teach Sunday School to 6-9 yr olds and we're constantly looking for crafts or just some fun stuff to do with them.
Your a Blessing, lemme say your children are very lucky to have such a fun and involved mother, reminds me of my Mother when I was younger. She'd do odd things like tape notes to the mirrors when I was a teen, knowing I'd see them in the mirror getting ready for school. And I still have them! Your children will cherish the time you've given them through all these fun times with you!
A friend linked to your blog, and I'm thinking I will have to spend some time checking it out. I am also a former high school science (biology and chemistry) teacher. I left to start my family, and I have two girls. I have aspirations of developing my crafting abilities, but it does not come easy being the left-brained, science girl that I am!. I must say, you are quite artsy, which is a nice quality to see in a fellow science-lover. Looking forward to reading more of your blog!
I love love love your Blog! I immediatley saved your blog to my favorites. Thanks for the great ideas, and taking the time to inspire all of your avid readers. I baked your oreo cupcakes for the youth in our church the other day, and lets just say they were astonished by just the presentaion! Keep the ideas rolling!
We've known for a while now how beautiful your children are (I think seeing snippets of them on your blog is one of my favorite parts of this place!). But look how GORGEOUS you and your husband are! You're just as beautiful on the outside as on the inside…thank you for sharing so much of your spirit, creativity and joy on your blog. My day isn't complete without visiting your little place in the blogosphere!
I just found your blog and I am in heaven! I spent some quality time looking through your archives and have been inspired! I am going to attempt to make the cute oreo turkeys this week!
Found your blog through 30 Handmade Days. So glad I did. I'm just drooling and swooning over all your fun stuff!!
That was fun to see a picture of you and your beautiful family. I think you are a great photographer (that sunset shot is killer, and I assume you took it since you are not in it). I'll be in Utah in March, if you need updated family pics–let me know! Free, of course, since you share so freely here.
My cousin told me about your blog and I love it. You have really cool ideas. I'm going to be applying for a Family and Consumer Sciences teaching position for this coming fall and there are a lot of ideas that I've seen that I could use in the classroom. Thanks for the great ideas. Katie
Hello! *waves* I just found your blog today and am determined to make your Rainbow Cake for my baby's first birthday! This is quite ambitious, mind you! I'm not quite 30 weeks pregnant with him! :) I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of your blog!

Oh my GOODNESS, I came across your blog by chance today looking up little girls nightgowns. You are truly fabulous. I mean you make it all seems so possible. I struggle with trying to keep in all together – family, hobbies, household, work etc and you make it seem effortless. You have amazed me. I love your ideas and your spirit! Thanks for being willing to do this and inspire us all!
Thanks again!

First of all, I love your blog & enjoy reading it everyday. My favorite photo is of my daughter when she was 3 years old kissing our yellow lab, Katie, when she was a puppy just a couple of days old.
I work as a special needs teacher's aide. One of our students has cerebral palsy, and always wants to take pictures with my phone. This camera would be perfect for him to use!
