As a young girl, I couldn’t wait for adulthood. I imagined that it would be picnics-in-apple-orchards idyllic. The dream was that I would be the next Lucy Maud Montgomery or Louisa May Alcott, inspiring young girls with strong, female characters. I believed I’d renovate a historic home, fill it with antiques and love, and that it would always be brimming with the laughter of children and the scampering of my pets. Not all my dreams have come to fruition... yet. But I’m working on it. (I definitely have managed the laughter and scampering of pets part. I have three rather silly children and a Great Pyrenees named Clementine, a cat named Libby, and two goldfish-Sloth and Chunk.) Being a mother has been my main focus for the last two decades. Because of my husband’s demanding career, I have stayed home with my children for a good chunk of that time. My children - Parker (20), Aubrey (16), and Gracelynn (7), have now reached stages of life where they are less dependent on me, allowing me time to focus a little more on me again. In the last year, I started working in an elementary school as a tutor and Lunchroom Supervisor. I also started taking a tap class, an ASL class so that I can better communicate with my daughter (who is Hard of Hearing), and started writing for Fargo Mom.
