I am a stay at home mom with 3 grown sons, ages 30, 27, and 25 and our 11 year old grandson whom we adopted. Talk about starting over!!! I love to cook and like trying new recipes. I bake occasionally now, only because my family at home is now much smaller!! I really like cookbooks and have a large assortment. I like to do counted cross stitch and am just getting started in scrapbooking and card making. Recipe collecting has become a hobby now, too. I am a 12 year breast cancer survivor. I had every treatment option available at the time ~ chemo, high dose chemo, analogous stem cell transplant and radiation.
