RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in Lampasas Texas, a small town outside of Austin, with my two beautiful children; Chance (4 years-old) and Tara (7 years old) and loving husband, Craig. I am a full-time mother and wife. I volunteer at the school, library, and church, and am a member of Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) and a Womens Group. My hobby is making cards and stationery--stamping and scrapbooking. I know nothing about house keeping or cooking. Needless to say my children and husband are very patient, so are my friends. And no I'm not blond. <br /><br />Before children, I was a computer teacher/technical support person for a large school district. Therefore, I use my talents whenever needed.</p>
