About Me

I'm a Christian wife & homeschooling mom of 7; I enjoy being a sahm, reading, writing, singing, living, and menu-planning. I am disinclined to do housework. I have lived in three countries and 12 states. I own six thousand books. More or less. Mostly more.

Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?

Our Teddy answered not a word; It's doubtful if he even heard.
