I'm a happily married wife and mother of two in elementary/middle school. My daughter and I study violin together (Suzuki method) and I'm a cookbook collector and love cooking and baking. During the summer I enjoy hiking in the mountains ~ although in Winter I prefer drinking hot chocolate to skiing.

My new hobbies ~ geocaching in the Rockies... and figuring out HTML codes...

My epi-philosophy ~ I don't believe your personal or political views (as expressed on Epinions) should be held against you as far as rating or trusting. As long as you are well-reasoned, eloquent and honest enough to tell it like you see it, I don't care if I disagree with your position 100%, I'll rate your review on its own merits. Sorry, though, I don't enjoy reading crude language or explicit subject matter so I probably will stay away from reading those.

Trusting ~ I'd like to thank each member who has trusted me! I appreciate the leap of faith. It may take me awhile to get familiar with your writing, but please give me a chance to return the favor. I try to be generous with my trust ~ after all, it doesn't cost anything to add someone. But, I also endeavor to be a patient person, so I accept that, in some cases, the reverse may never happen...

My professional background By trade I'm a geographer/cartographer. When I'm not making maps with ArcMap, I'm busy being a Mom ~ the best job in the world!
