First and foremost, I'm a Christian. Daughter of the King. Great, isn't it? Beyond that, I've been married to my husband, Shannon, for 12 years. We have two children, Liz (9), and Sam (4). I'm a personal chef, family physician, financial manager, minivan chauffeur, teacher, housekeeper, gardener.....in other words, a stay-at-home mom. I started blogging to force myself to slow down and reflect on life. My life is often cluttered with things to do and places to go, and I found I wasn't taking the time I needed to enjoy the little moments. My blog is my creative outlet.

I also have a passionate desire to get out of debt. I'm throwing my resources and efforts into getting my family out of debt by mid-2008. To hold myself accountable, I'm blogging about my efforts.
