I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life.
My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)!
I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery.
Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
