: About Me

My name is Adrienne, and I'm a stay at home mom of four plus a new puppy, with a quirky sense of humor and a love of language. I like to garden, play outside with my children, train my dog, and hang out with my kids.
I have lots of friends online, and a friend recommended this website to me, so I'm going to give it a try!
I live in rural North Carolina, in the piedmont, where times are tough, and I watch my husband trudge off every afternoon to work 2nd and half of 3rd shift in a mill. It's a beautiful country though, green and lush with flowers, sultry hot summers and mild winters.
I would love to visit Ireland one day, so many great ideas came from there-as well as my husband's ancestors, from which my tiny one gets her reddish hair.
