I'm 34 and a stay at home mom to twins, a boy and a girl born fall 2012. In the past I've worked as a camp counselor, Legoland ride operator, children's museum employee, campus tour guide, shoe salesperson, student teacher, tutor, insurance agent and paralegal. I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up, but being a mom is by far the best thing I've done with my life. I love reading (particularly memoirs and historical fiction), travel, hiking, sending and receiving happy mail, attempting to sew, and hanging out with my family.
