1. I'm happily married and stay at home with my 20-month-old daughter. I don't talk too much about my family because they like their privacy.

3. I'm an aspiring writer. I've written gardening posts for Blissfully Domestic and wrote a guest post on (in)courage. In addition, I write children's stories. I'm still working on that whole getting published thing.
4. I love to read! Last year I averaged one book every three days. I share reviews of these books on Bookworm Tuesdays and collect them in my Book Reviews page.

| Just a spoonful of irony helps the pages go by faster... |
5. In exchange for honest reviews, I get free books from Thomas Nelson, Tyndale, and Waterbrook Multonomah Publishers. Sometimes they send me books to give away.
6. On Wednesdays, I link up to Works for Me Wednesdays and share (hopefully) helpful home/parenting tips.
7. During the summer, I share news from my garden. These posts are collected under Mediocre Gardening. I share both my successes... and failures.

| Tomato seedlings alive 22 days and counting! |
 |
| The dead plant in the pot was doomed the moment I bought it and didn't commit its name to memory. If I don't know what it is, why should I water it? |

| I said let it down, not take it out! (This was my extension phase.) |
Thanks for visiting!

I like to read too! I just bought a Nook Color and I'm so excited to start reading on it. I occasionally do blog reviews for Thomas Nelson too. It's nice to meet you! I'm glad the UBP11 "introduced" us! :-)
ReplyDeleteVERY CUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love reading too and average about one every three days....okay four. I was just trying to tie.
What I've started doing though is reading a classic a month, so that slows me down. LOL.
Good to meet you. Whew...that was easy. In real life, I would have worked up a sweat...I'm shy.
party on.
Nice to meet you. Stopping on over from the UBP11 and looking forward to partying with you!
