Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

My front door was looking a little forlorn since I (finally) remembered to take down our Christmas wreaths a week or so ago. In my defense, that’s not the door we use every day! Anyway, I wanted something for Valentine’s … Continue reading
