Making kids laugh is one of my many missions in life and it's a necessity that I get my (often-quirky) thoughts in my head on paper (or computer). I live in Colorado but was born and raised in Indiana. Living in Colorado lets me indulge in snowboarding and hiking -- both passions of mine. I also enjoy tennis, reading, traveling and spending time with my husband, kids and dogs. Check out my blog at: http: //yestoreading.blogspot.com .
