I'm a midwestern girl, born and raised. I married my highschool sweetheart and we've got 3 awesome kiddos. I'm a retailer by trade but love to cook and especially bake. Cake decorating is my hobby. Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. I love dogs (Proud mama of a pug, a wheaten terrier and a Teddy Bear) and reading, traveling and VW bugs. I love to entertain and cook for friends and family. It thrills me to watch someone eat something I made and totally enjoy it. My perfect Sunday is cooking a big "comfort food" meal while my family watches football.
