I am a 30'ish mother of two who enjoys long walks on beaches, good wine and pillow-top beds. 

(Obviously I hate writing profiles- they always end up sounding like personal ads.)

My obsessions include reading, shopping and chocolate.  I spend my days toiling in the field of higher education and my nights wrangling the kids, enjoying domestic life and doing a bit of editing on the side.  And it's all caffeine-fueled, of course.    

My dream?  To win the lottery and cast off to explore the world with my family, all of us learning together along the way.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."  - Mark Twain

And another from good ole' Mark:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, & narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it solely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
