Mommysaver of the Week ***3LYNNS***

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
**Disclaimer**

MS Mom of the Week is a fun way for us to get to know the Mommysavers members. Newbies to the board as well as regulars are welcome to participate. The Mom of the Week is randomly selected a week in advance of her being featured. I do this so I can contact you, let you know your feature date, and arrange to receive a picture from you to include with the survey. Having a picture included is so we can make it a little more personal and put a name to a face. This is optional of course, as are all the questions being asked. If I don’t hear back from you before your “feature” date, I will randomly select the next person and then get back to you the following week. If you would like to participate please PM doozer and we will get you signed up

List three things you have on your Life List; things you would like to accomplish before you leave this world

Travel to Europe
Buy a House

Which room in your house best reflects your personality?

My craft room. I can really reflect my personality through my work. And I can leave it a little messy.

Which ones are hers? Mine are my molars. Makes for not being able to eat hard things sometimes! Especially since I am getting older!

Sonja, congrats on Mom of the Week!!

We did have fun at the Mall of America!! I have to say, I thought I knew everything about you, but I did not know about the baby teeth.
