About Me



My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!

I'm an eco-conscious mama to twin boys. I do have a confession to make, though. I obsessively swab my ears and I use too much toilet paper. I write blogs then start to think about how much I've overshared, get embarrassed and delete them all. I have a website that I have never put anything at all on. Anyone care to help me? Right now it feels like things are falling into place in my life and that's a good feeling.
