I'm a 30ish SAHM of two wonderful daughters (currently 9 and 6) and have been married to the best guy for almost 14 years. I'm originally from the west coast, but am now living outside of Philadelphia and for my husband's work, in Mexico City. I homeschool part time now while my daughters attend an international school in Mexico City, however in the States I use a couple different curriculums,we're open to whatever we seem to be needing academically, mentally, emotionally at the time. I enjoy travel and meeting new people. I like to spend my free time (which is usually very little) crafting, cooking, reading, photography, collecting matryoshkas and milkglass, hoola hooping, thrift stores and antiquing and being outside and being with those I love.
me in a nutshell: photography, arts-n-crafts (esp. scrapbooking, embroidery, sewing, soldering, jewelry making and painting), travel, homeschooling, music, exercise, cooking, reading, collecting anything milkglass, matryoshkas, squirrels or birds, sailor jerry tattoos, chai lattes, thrift stores, photobooths and reading...
