I'm a stay at home mom which I prefer to consider my occupation as "Home Management" (sounds much better than "stay at home mom"... and more professional! LOL) I have 4 children: Zakkary - 18, Kayla - 15, Jayci - 3, J.J. - 1 I am married to a very wonderful man who took in Zakkary and Kayla as his own. He treats all of our children as equals, as well as me. I love to do anything outdoors. I LOVE camping and cooking outdoors. We like to go camping to relax... but I love to cook outdoors so much that my husband has to remind that we're "relaxing". LOL I like to cook most anything that just plain sounds delish! I like to slow cook often just because it's so simple. I'm actually in charge of a recipe exchange group with my church and I love doing it because I like to get lots of tasty meals from All Recipes as well. Thanksgiving has got to be our most traditional of all. I always have people requesting that we have Thanksgiving at our house. We live about 60 miles from most of my family, but they make the drive just for the meal. I taught myself to cook! My mother was always too busy while I was a child, so all my sister and I learned to cook was tater tots and tv dinners. So, once I was out on my own I decided I HAD to learn! I taught myself through trial and error, but I took it on quickly. I love to cook/bake. In the beginning of my "learning", just lots of burned meals or tasteless meals. Ya gotta learn from experience right?
