I am the mother of two young boys ages 4 & 2 and an insurance broker. I am an avid reader, and I love to scrapbook my children. I like fast, easy to prepare meals. I have loved to bake for a long time and have recently started to enjoy cooking. I have the largest sweet tooth known to man! Im also a really picky eater, so I have a hard time finding a balance between what I should cook for my family and what I will actually eat. I love this website, it has become an addiction!
