mkdmom's Profile

I'm a full time wife and mom and part time employee for a travel wholesaler (a job which I love!).  I have 2 daughters, ages 18 & 17 and one son age 9.  DH and I have been married 19 years.  In the little bit of spare time that I have, I love to read (chick lit and cozy mysteries are my favorites) and do counted cross stitch and listen to country music (which is kinda hard here on Long Island since there are no country stations here -- thank goodness for satelite radio!)
