Hobbies:
I try to spend all my time with my children.  Since they go to daycare full-time, evenings and weekends are filled with things that they like to do.  We live on a farm and we spend a lot of time outside.

What Funny Things Do Your Kids Do/Say:
My son Jacob likes to say that he did things yesterday, even though he didn't.  We just laugh at him and smile.

The Most Rewarding Thing About Parenting:
The most rewarding thing about parenting is that I am there when they wake up in the morning and I am there when they go to bed.  My children all very affectionate,  we give a lot of hugs.

The Most Challenging Thing About:
The most challenging about parenting is balancing a FT job, a two hour commute, and having to deal with a recurring brain tumor.  There aren't enough hours in the day.

Favorites:
Our family's favorite items are all the outdoor toys my kids have.  My children would rather play outside than be in the house, maybe that's why my husband and I moved to the country.

Money Saving Tips:
I watch the local paper and buy my children's clothes mid-week.

Best Bargain Ever:
Herberger's had an outdoor sale, summer items were 75% off.  I found a swimsuit for my daughter with a small snag and they gave me an extra 10% off.

In the Kitchen:
I use my crock pot a lot, it's less time-consuming.

Organization:
I label everything and take notes.
