I'm a stay-at-home mother of three boys. Cameron, our eldest, is 6. Anderson and Benjamin are our four-year-old twins. My husband, Arlo, and I have been married for 21 years. There are days it already seems like forever, and days that it feels as if forever is yet to arrive. I am a part-time: laundress, house cleaner, chef, chauffer, personal shopper, gardener, maintenance worker, volunteer, room mother, party planner and cake decorator. And that's in my spare time.

Our family enjoys doing almost anything together. We love the mountains and the beach. We enjoy sports (especially when our kids are playing), art, music, theater, games, puzzles, legos, and any kind of truck. Whenever we can, we get outside and enjoy our trampoline together or spend some time at the park or ride our "wheeled things."

Someday I would like to ride a zipline through a South American cloud forest, gaze upon the Great Pyramids at Giza, and discover, first hand, how it feels to hold your own grandchild for the vary first time. I believe in the power of kindness. I treasure my friends and family. I love watching children learn new things. I am awed by the incredible beauty and quiet strength of nature. I don't need to know the reasons that bad things happen. I hope to be a better person when I leave this world than I am now.
