My Interests

I like hanging out with my sisters in law- my in laws in general, we used to get together a lot with all of my husband's family on weekends before we moved... Going to Disneyland with my girlfriends and munchkins... Colleen and I started hiking alot this summer with our kids- baby boy in the backpack, so far it's been a hike a week...It's all pretty generic stuff, I don't have much of a life outside of my kids, my husband, and a few close friends and our families, lol! Oh yeah, and I love to read, love it...if I could read uninterrupted, I could finish a 400 page book in one day, but those days are long gone now that I have little monkeys, so I read when I can...

I'd like to meet:

Other young mamas... old friends... new friends... and other Hapas..
