I grew up in a big family in a small town in rural Colorado. (How small? There were literally more books in my home than people in my town.)
After 18 years of growing up, I attended Brigham Young University and studied organ performance. During my freshman year, I met a cute boy named Mike, and we decided we liked each other a lot and got married in April 2005. Since then, six sons have joined the fun.
I've always liked reading, but it was after my oldest was born that I really started to love it. Amidst the joys of taking care of my sweet baby, I realized I was in a bit of an intellectual rut. Books got me out of it. Now, besides just reading for my own enjoyment and education, I love reading to my boys, who are as obsessed with books as I am.
Book taste: I consider myself a fairly eclectic reader with especial interest in picture books, middle-grade, historical fiction, realistic fiction, the classics, and non-fiction. I occasionally read fantasy, young adult, and mysteries.
Other interests: sewing, knitting, cleaning, exploring new places, teaching piano lessons, and talking. I used to say I liked to cook, but Mike tells me I don't, so I leave the cooking for fun to him.
