During most of my free time, I am supporting my children being involved in activities. I enjoy volunteering as a Girl Scout Leader and as my church Youth Group Leader. I also enjoy nature and being outside; in the winter - sledding, in the spring - gardening, in the summer - swimming, and in the fall - going to a pumpkin patch and harvesting my garden and teaching my children to make jam and can foods. I also enjoy baking and family get-togethers that primarily focus around delicious homemade food.
