my specialty mom meal… age 29, moorhead, mn breakfast for dinner is my favorite. I don’t always have the time to make breakfast in the morning, so pancakes and eggs or breakfast burritos at night are a special treat. one word that best describes me… easy going [well two words]. I try not to get stressed about things, it won’t help. I can be happy doing pretty much anything. something i do for myself… sometimes after shopping I go for an aqua massage. It is like snuggling up in a blankie, so relaxing and I love that you don’t have to make an appointment. ways i bond with my son… we have Doyle Days, which is a day he gets to pick what we all do and eat. We set aside an afternoon or evening to play board games, video games or the activity of his choice. my must have hair product… growing up i always wanted to… be Whitney Houston. When the song “I’m Your Baby Tonight” came out I secretly cut my hair short and flushed it down the toilet. Of course my mom noticed that there was 6 inches of hair missing and was less than pleased.

I have never re-gifted.

Wen Conditioning Cleanser. I received it for a gift and the infomercials are right. Bleaching and straightening does so much damage to my hair, Wen has made it healthy again.

I can do without… mounted animals, they scare me. You will never see me in the hunting section of a store and I send in a lookout before going into gas stations by lakes. if i could meet anyone past or present it would be… something unique about me…

Axl Rose. I think it would be cool to meet the man I wanted to marry for so many years.

I make my own laundry detergent. I found a recipe over a year ago and have been doing it ever since. It is super cheap to make, works great even on stained clothing and is wonderful for sensitive skin. a movie i can watch over and over again… Can’t pick just one…The Departed, Turner and Hooch, Officer and a Gentleman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Office Space, Pursuit of Happiness, My Fair Lady and of course, The Notebook. a family tradition of ours… grilling on Christmas Day. my one beauty tip… something i admire but would never do… living a lifestyle that uses minimal technology and live off the land. Waking up early and working as a family on a farm would be so rewarding. I don’t think I could go long without being able to Google random things throughout the day. my ideal day would be spent… at a lake with family and friends. Swimming, fishing, boat rides, grilling, going for walks and sitting by a fire at the end of the night.

I wash my face every night; I know how much I touch my face all day even though I shouldn’t.

I am addicted to…

Fresh Fruit Salsa and Baked Cinnamon Pita Chips from the OTMOM Aug/Sep issue…it is so good.
