I work part-time for the local newspaper (The Mill Creek View) as a copy editor and a few days a month helping my husband with his business. Mostly though, I am a full-time stay-at-home mom to our three great kids. I volunteer a lot and in my spare time, I enjoy reading and scrapbooking.
My oldest is Alyssa, who is 10 and in 4th grade. She's a combination of sweet and serious. Very responsible but tends to be a bit uptight (I admit she gets this from me). My youngest is Andrew, who is 4 and will attend pre-school this fall. For now, he spends his days alternating between making us laugh and making us crazy. My middle daughter is Kelsey, who is 8 and in the 2nd grade. She is very kind-hearted and has a wonderful sense of humor. She gets this from her daddy.
My husband, Todd, and I have been married since August of 1996 and will celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary this year.
I absolutely love ice cream. I seriously can't live without it at least twice a week. I also like pasta and chicken. I tend to eat all the breads and vegetables on my plate first, and only a few bites of meat.
I actually enjoy cooking. The only problem is that regardless of what I make, it seems only Todd and I eat it. So I tend to be a bit of a short-order cook most days. The hope is that my picky eaters will someday branch out. Until then, I guess I'll just make the same 4 meals that we all eat and supplement by serving a lot of fruit and cold cereal. ![]()
My favorite restaurant is Arnie's in Mukilteo, Washington. It's local and serves the best seafood dishes, combined with great service and an awesome view of Puget Sound.
I'm not sure if I would categorize myself as famous for this, but I make a really good summertime caesar salad with pasta that people have enjoyed whenever I have served it for lunch.
