Life is nothing more than rainbows, butterflies, and puppy dog tails!

About Me

Some things about me: I come from a LARGE family. I've got like 26 aunts/uncles; and just on my mother's side of the family, the last time I counted, I had 27 first cousins and 39 second cousins. Who knows how many third cousins I have...but we all keep in touch! I'm the oldest of 4 girls, and I have one niece and two nephews. Let's see...my ethnicity: Polish, French, and Irish; so my sister likes to say we're stupid, horny, drunks. I don't know about all of that one...I guess you'll have to be the judge of that! (Ha ha ha) I have a 7-year-old son, who is my rock...my world revolves around him. Being a mom is challenging at times, but it is extremely rewarding, as you see your child growing up and learning before your very eyes. I'm a people person. I love hanging out with friends whenever I have free time...and just having FUN!
