Getting started

My name is Kelly and I have a wide and varied life.  I am a Mom to two children, both adopted, who have survived traumatic early starts to their lives.  Parenting will be a frequent topic.  My oldest is 18 and just starting his Freshman year at college. It will be a rocky road as he has several mental health issues.

Baking is my true passion. I love to bake, but hate to cook.  It it involves flour, sugar and eggs, I'm probably willing to try the recipe.  I am learning to decorate cakes and cookies as well as the baking.

I am also a Christian and not ashamed to admit it.  I belong to the United Church of Christ and in a few weeks I will be starting my last year of the Lay Academy classes.  I work with our youth group at church and help teach Confirmation to 7th and 8th graders.

I am an avid reader, I love knitting and other crafts, and am working on being more fiscally responsible with couponing and sales.

All in all, my life is "normal" with a few twists thrown in.  I am a work in progress.  I am 43 years old and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up (except being a super baker that is._  Join me on the wild journey that is my life.
