5. I love to read and could spend all day snuggled up with the kids reading great books.

6. Did you all know that IIIIIIII LOVE THE BEACH!!!!!!  But the funny thing is, I’m scared to death of going in the water. That is right- This girl never goes in the ocean. I hit the pool to cool off.

7. Sometimes I think back to those days when I just had 1 child and my house was always immaculate, and know that I’ll choose hand prints on the wall and a full laundry basket any day 🙂

8. The older I get the more modest I’ve become and the more I turn to God for answers.

9. I would have 10 more kids, if I had 10 more years to have them (lol). I love having a large family.

10. I love open ended natural toys- they are so beautiful. 

11. No matter how organized I am, I always have a pile of something around, a pile of books on the table, a pile of mail to go through, or a pile of papers to be laminated. O well, I don’t think that will ever change. hehe!

4. How many different countries have you traveled to? 3-4

5. What is your favorite school subject? Surprisingly, History and Geography are my fav’s now. I’m sure it helps that my boys love it too, so it is so easy to devour it.

11. What kind of car did you have as your first car? My first car was a seriously old grey Mustang (my parents thought it would be responsible of me to buy my own first car) it was terrible.
