  I am a happily married, Christian working mom of two teenagers. My life is never dull since it revolves around my family, my faith, writing, school and a job that actually pays me. I write on a variety of topics - shift work, genealogy, faith, recipes, practical tips, trichotillomania, pugs, funny stuff that happens in my life, and being a mom; sometimes combining more than one topic! Come along on this often funny, bumpy journey I call "life."
