My Interests

Glittery texts by minutecity.com

I'm interested in.... well, my husband for one ;-) I can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can go on bike rides again. I love painting, both doing and enjoying other's artwork. I love anything shabby chic. I love cottages near the ocean. I love sugary coffee drinks that taste nothing like coffee. I love diet coke. I love my 2 sons, Zander and Kaedan. (isn't it crazy I have a 2 and a 3 year old?) I want to take more pictures and edit more videos. I have a lot of great ideas, but we haven't sat down and really worked on it. I love looking at babysites.com. It's a strange addiction for me to see all these cute little babies and how proud their parents are of them! I love writing in the boys baby books and re-reading old stories I put in there. I love baking cookies. I love attempting a new recipe and it actually working out in the end. I love those little dove chocolates.mmmmmm. I love shopping for anything baby. I love spending time with my family and my extended family. I love the ocean. I love children's books. I love chocolate milk. I love finger paints and play-doh. I love sleepy boys in my arms. I love when the boys are behaving and at this moment I need to regulate, so I think I'm done on here!!! :-)
