I'm a stay-at-home mom of five children—though I rarely find myself actually staying home. ;) When I'm not shuttling my kids to their activities or fulfilling my church responsibilities, I love to indulge myself in my two favorite past times: reading and writing. I rarely go anywhere without a book in my purse and a notebook to jot down story ideas that pop into my head at the oddest times (like at red lights or while grocery shopping).
