About Me

Every stay-at-home Mom needs a little hobby to keep her sane. Knitting didn't work out, so this is mine...

I also write a lot. Mostly poetry. Perhaps at some point I will feel inclined to share. I'm pretty selfish though. So we'll see.

For now I'll share an excerpt from my very favorite poem.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
-Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken
