Hi Everyone!
I am a married mom of two (Joe = 21 and Vicky = 12). I work fulltime as an accountant in the automotive industry. I also have a small biz creating all kinds of gift baskets, cookie flower pots, baked treats, chocolates and also cater during the holidays. I just completed certification in cake decorating and enjoy doing all of the above after-hours (hence the name: sleeplessinmiami. I also enjoy party planning and cooking wonderful meals for my family and friends. My husband absolutely loves to taste all of my dishes and often asks me to pack some extra so that he can take to his business and have others taste as well. My children are also the taste testers for all of my sweet creations, especially the cookies and candies. Their favorites are my spiced cookies and chocolate cocoa crinkles. I love crafts and always make time for the "Real Housewives" series and Martha Stewarts' Everyday Food shows.http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1086563/Havana%20Nights.jpg
