I am a stay at home mom and wife with two children - Andrew is 16 and a high school junior and my daughter Annika is 13 and in her last year of middle school. I'm a native Southern Californian living in Western Michigan. I have held several jobs in my life - from teacher to reporter to public relations person - but now my main focus is on taking care of my children, and my husband who is currently on disability because of a brain tumor and complications related. (For part of the details, read "Proof My Husband Has A Brain" in my challenge entries) I have known Christ since 1999(was raised Jewish - an abbreviated version of my conversion can be found in the challenge story "In Old Testament Black and White"). My main writing focus at the current time is children's stories - picture books to be more precise - and I also do some editing. Thanks for stopping by!
