Hello everyone,
<br>I live in historic Yorktown, VA. I am a SAHM of two, a ten year old daughter and a three year old son. I love to cook and bake. Unfortunately for me, I have always been a big gal, as they say here in the South, but my theory is-the more you eat, the smaller I look. If I can fatten you up it makes me look better. :) Cooking is also a great stress reliever for me. I really enjoy this web site and thank everyone who has contributed to making it so insightful and fun!
