I am the wife of a submariner!! My husband just finished serving on a Trident Nuclear Submarine for the past five years! We are just starting a 3 year shore duty tour and loving it. We are so happy to be a family we have four kids under the age of 8. They are the whole entire world to me!
My all time favorite cookbook would have to be the Cake mix doctor. I love to bake.
