    About Me

    I am wife of 11 years and have (technically) 5 children. The 2 oldest are my stepkids. I have a daughter with spina bifida. Her name is Lucy and she's 9. My husband and I own a little carpet shop.

    Interests

    I love every one of my kids. We love to hit the lake in the summer and the couch in the winter. We have problems like any other family, but I wouldn't have it any other way!!
