Hi! I am a stay at home mom to my sons, 5 year old Nolan, and 2 year old Blake. My husband works for a securities trading company, and in our spare time we enjoy trying new restaurants (which rarely happens anymore now that we're in parent land!), having friends over, and playing games. We recently moved from Kansas City to London...talk about a BIG change! I'm adjusting and really enjoying this new adventure. I'm trying to learn all the new brands and labels in the markets and figure out that darn metric system! I've enjoyed baking some of my favorite cookie recipes to cure homesickness, and look forward to trying some traditional English cuisine! Cheers!
