: About Me

I am a stay at home mom with three kids: two 12 year olds and a 6 month old! I never expected to start all over raising children, but here I am! It is a challenge, but a wonderful one, as I could not imagine my life without my newest little sweetie! My happiest time spent is with my kids and my loving husband. I have enjoyed both writing and reading since I learned how as a young child! I have always had a very artistic side. I love to draw, experimenting with paints, and make and sell jewelry and other crafts. Some other things I love are music, movies, reality tv, hairdye, tattoos and piercings. I look forward to writing, reading and rating many articles in the future!

What a dreadful thought to have missed out on those miraculous experiences year after year! What a magical time for a child: the anticipation, the excitement, the purity of the idea of Santa Claus...It is the most wonderful time of year for most children. Believing in Santa Claus brings hope, excitement and faith. Children thoughtfully create their letters to Mr. Claus, letting him know what they would like to receive for Christ...
