| Introduction | I am the mother of six: three girls and three boys. While we lived there, I wrote for a local paper in Colorado, articles about our family's adventures supporting local businesses. I also wrote for a local paper in our temporay home in SW Florida. Now that we live in NW NJ, I am doing reporting for a family of small local papers. I started this blog to help me stay sane when we lived in s 960sq. ft. two bedroom home and had five very energetic children. My life sometimes felt like a treadmill of cleaning up that was set way too high! I was stubling to keep my footing amongst the personal belongings (mine and other people's) that really had no place to go. I would always be getting rid of things in an attempt to create order, thus making do with less and hopefully having less work to do. Now that we have a much larger house, I have held onto that philosophy. Less is more, especially if that means I have less work. Sometimes it is a real challenge to make less, work. |
| Interests | gardening, singing, walking, yoga, reading literature, libervox recordings, children's books, coffee drinking, wearing sandels with a cork footbed, dangly earings, big sunglasses, oh and writing. |
| Favorite Movies | The Fantastic Mr. Fox! Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire always make me happy. That is what I like in a movie. Real life gives me enough wickedness to dwell on. I don't want my movies to be disturbing as well. |
| Favorite Music | Elizabeth Mitchell, Bach, Bach, and more Bach (J.S. that is). Alison Krauss, Bing Crosby, Joni Mitchel, Ella, mellow Neil Young, Nick Drake...hummm, too many to mention. |
| Favorite Books | Favorite audio books; The Hank the Cowdog Series (Oh, my leg!) James Herriot's books, The Wind in the Willows, The Holy Bible, Morning and Evening by C.H. Spurgeon I love reading classic children's literature that I never read as a child; E. Nesbit, Arthur Ransom, the tales of Pippy Longstocking...once again too many too mention. |
