I am a stay at home mom of two boys, ages 16 years old and 15 months. My husband is 8 1/2 months away from retiring from the Navy, at which time we will be moving home to Michigan. My hobbies include all the domestic arts--cooking, baking, sewing, quilting, cross stitching, scrap booking, cleaning, lol! I also enjoy reading and walking, and visiting Recipe*Zaar and working on my own website. My current favorite cookbook is one I picked up at an open air market for a dollar--it's the Pilbsury Modern Family Cookbook, circa 1963!
