Happily married mom of four sons, 17, 15, and twins 12 years old. We met at Boy Scout Summer Camp over 20 years ago, I was the Camp Nurse, he was the Ecology Director and also an Eagle Scout. So, of course, we are very active in Boy Scouts now. I was in Girl Scouts until I was 19 and thanks to my aunt, got to camp and hike in much of the United States. We attend Redeemer Lutheran Church and have a great support system there. I work in the Maternal/Child field and have my own practice of Nurturing Steps and work for Early Head Start. I have always been an avid Photographer and Nature Lover. My husband, Erik and I launched our business; Expressions of Nature Photography which features my photographs and artwork taken in beautiful Northern Michigan. We have great T-SHIRTS, TOTE BAGS, GREETING CARDS, CHRISTIAN ART, NATURE PRINTS and MORE. I feel so blessed to live where God provides me an abundance of artwork everywhere I turn! On my site you will also find great articles about Home Decorating, Enjoying the Outdoors, Gardening, Meditation and even Poetry. If you would like to submit an article that would fit in, please contact me for consideration. If any of you have shops, catalogs or marketing expertise, I would love advise on how to share my art and love for nature with more people. When you go to my Expressions of Nature Website, please be sure to sign my GUEST BOOK at the bottom of the page! Thanks so much!! Christmas is right around the corner and we have afforable gifts for everyone! http://www.expressionsofnaturephotography.com

Children, hanging out with my family, sunshine on my shoulders, lots of laughter, gentle spirits, positive people, church, my Pilates machine, chocolate chip cookies, animals, flowers, occasional rainy days, home cooking, snow at Christmas--then it can stop, singing my heart out to the radio and CDs while driving (Keith Urban is in my CD player)! I thank God for the sunrise and the start of a brand new day!

Waiting for spring in Michigan, when people are rude to each other, when people pass judgement on others and anchovies!
