40 Something Christian, Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend, and Nurse. I enjoy sloooow paced, (classy)country living and sitting on my front porch swing in the summer. Love my husband, family (black lab included) and my worn in cowboy boots! I can't sing, but like to try and listen to a variety of music. I'm not that into tv, but occasionally watch romantic comedy movies, really much rather be doing something outside. I love, love,love to cook...... and I simply enjoy learning; all types of things. I treat others how I would like to be treated and am excited to meet new people and learn about the way they live!

I LOVE GOOD CHOCOLATE; don't care for the waxy tasting junk chocolate! I like Dark, milk, and white is good as well, in moderation. I don't have any allergies, and love hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and other nuts. Chocolate with cayenne pepper is surprisingly good, as is chocolate with liquors, blackberries and caramel. Love trying new candy from outside of the USA!

Love, love, love, recipes, especially ones on recipe cards. Old family recipes and ones that you don't see everywhere on the internet are my Faves!

Any other questions, please feel free to ask!

1. Chocolate: Would love to try a Wunderbar, Violet Crumble, or any flavored Kit Kat bars besides the regular milk, dark, or white ones.

I like chocolate bars with filling inside maybe a little better than plain chocolate, but anything is good! Milk chocolate Ritter bar with hazelnuts or strawberries is also on my wish list. Any chocolate, candy or tea from outside the USA.

1. Rosaries (A rosary made with crushed rose petal beads or a Papal rosary (Pope Francis)would be awesome!) but any would be great! I have deep devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. Therese is my patron Saint. Other special saints, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, St. Francis of Assisi.

3.Anything else on my Favorites list

Anything for my 8 year old daughter; she especially loves anything Catholic (t-shirts size child Med., Holy cards, etc.) Hello Kitty, new chapter book from Emily Windsnap mermaid series; she has 1-3 but would love any of the others in the series, any Catholic saint book; she loves to read! Stationary, stickers and bright colored socks! Please no Monster High or anything like that stuff.

Please don't send Anti-Christian stuff, skulls, dream catchers. I'm not wild about hearts unless it's a Valentine swap, cartoon or animated characters (except Hello Kitty, she is cool!), rap music, baby dolls, pastel colors, cat related items, stuffed animals, diet soda or any food with artificial sweeteners. I will respect your choices and preferences, and am hopeful that you will respect mine.
