Born July 4th, Independence Day, I was quite the Fire Cracker in Kansas City, MO! Raised in Liberty, MO. I met my husband in Parkville, MO in 1994 and we were married later that year. Our first child was born the next year in 1995. I have been a stay at home mom basically since our first was born, so many years ago! We have six children together, 5 boys ages 18, 17, 15 year old twins and our newest addition is 1! Our only girl together is 10. My husband and our 17 year old boy are volunteer Firefighters at the local Fire Department. When not involved with a project with the Fire Department, I make 99% of our food from scratch... it's a lost art these days. I'm a crafter, volunteer, designer, writre, editor, proof reader, a photographer, a baker of designer cakes and a happy wife and mom. I try to blog about our life and family inbetween good memories.
