I am a SAHM and LOVE IT!

Hobbies include scrapbooking, reading, BAKING AND COOKING!

I am an attorney on hiatus while I'm a SAHM, soon to be a group fitness instructor (I hope).
I also workout in my basement whenever the children allow me to sneak it in.
I'm training for a mini-marathon in May.
And - I cannot believe Shelly has over 5000 posts but has only been a member for a year - is that true?
