My former Facebook "About Me"

Some asked about this about me to still be available, so here it is:

I'm an at-home Mom of two darling (and daring) boys and wife to darling (and daring) Joel. I have lived in Northeast Minneapolis for ten years. I'm working to change the perception and everyday lives of at-home Moms (including my own) by kicking ass and taking names...ahem...I mean leading by example.
