I am married to my awesome husband of 14 years. We have five kids together, ages 3-13, and two doggies, ages 4 and 13. We love to hang out at the beach and go fishing and swimming. I love to garden; both veggies and flowers. I also play the flute, piano and guitar and am very active in my church. Homemade pizza, pasta dishes, slow cooker meals and I love to can foods from our garden, such as: spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce and salsa. Every Friday night my husband and our five children make homemade pizzas and watch a movie together. I love that tradition! I created my own recipe for a delicious strawberry cake. My immediate and extended family members always ask for it for their birthday and family get togethers. My husband and I were married in 1994 and for our first Thanksgiving meal together I made a big turkey. I didn't know that turkeys were sold with a bag of "parts" stuffed inside. I baked mine with the bag in it. Needless to say, we ate a lot of mashed potatoes. :0)
