Hiking mountain trails, floating the Bitterroot River, and picking huckleberries are some of the things I love to do in Montana. I'm a warm weather girl at heart, so during the winter I love curling up with a good book. If I could print out a list of the books I've read in my lifetime, you'd get a pretty good summation of my life--parenting, homeschooling, budgeting, the Great Books, faith, self-help, healthy living, textbooks, life coaching, and some novels thrown in to take me away from it all for a short time. I love my family and enjoy spending time with my husband, four adult children and their spouses, and (almost) 8 grandchildren.
