Mom of many - 11 and counting. I'm a homeschooler, free-lance writer, striving to find joy in all things. Life is very good and best when my whole family is together - cooking, eating, talking and laughing. Anything everyone will eat - not an easy task when you are feeding adults down to toddlers! I'm good at the big stuff but still learning on day-to-day meals. Big holiday meals - Christmas and Easter breakfasts, Thanksgiving... When my husband told me my Thanksgiving turkey was better than his mom's. Mistakes in combining, reading and other user error issues - confectioner sugar will not thicken gravy. One cup of flour is not enough for a cookie recipe that calls for two. And it takes a while to get used to new pots and pans - they heated up quicker than my old ones and many a spaghetti sauce and soup was sacrificed in the process.
