<p>Mom of four -- a 13 year old daughter who is starting Eighth Grade, and a 11 year old son who is going into Sixth Grade. Our youngest daughter will be six and is starting Kindergarten this year and my youngest son is 3 and starting three year old preschool. The kids are not only busy in school but we've also got Basketball, Cross Country, Softball and Football practices to contend with and dance lessons for the little one! My husband and I have been married almost 14 years! I have loved to cook ever since I was a little girl, and have fond memories of helping my Mom and Grandma while growing up. I love to read cookbooks and cooking magazines as well as cooking supply catalogs (all those neat gadgets!).</p>
