I am a single mother of 4. I live in Missouri. I am in my last week of school for my paralegal degree, I love cooking and doing crafts with my kids. My favorite cookbook would have to be my amish cookbooks. They are awesome. My passion is definately my family and cooking. My pet peeves are having hair in food and having your hair down while cooking or eating. Know it all kids. I dont' know why its not kids and adults, but it is mainly just kids. It just really annoys me.
