I am a mother of 2 children, ages 7 and 5.  I was fortunate to have my children as I was diagnosed with blocked tubes and endometriosis.  My daughter, 7, was born with the help of invitro fertilization.  It was a challenging pregnancy with the last 5 months on total bedrest and 3 weeks in the hospital.  My daughter, Amy, arrived in 2002, 2 and a half weeks early via c-section.  It was a very exciting time.  Then, my son, Eric, conceived naturally, arrived in 2004.  I was very fortunate to have children and feel very blessed.  I had anothe c-section for my son and in 2007 I had a complete hysterectomy. 

My sense of style....I always feel better if I dress in something nice to go to work as it brightens my spirits, even though we can dress casual at work.  I do not have an expensive taste for anything, as I have always been a very careful shopper.  I am usually very casual and relaxed.  I put a lot of effort in my children and their well-being.  They dress better than mommy does....lol.   I guess you can say that what I love about life and being blessed to have children and a wonderful family.

The last thing I purchased for a friend is a serenity fountain.  She is my best friend who has always been there for me and just had major surgery herself recently.
