mary3mama
KristiMary is a low-carbing omnivorous mama living in Middle Indiana with a small menagerie of mammals including three happy, creative, homeschooled children (13, 9 & 5) one great dane, three black cats and one fantastic, supportive, creative, awesome and very attached hubby. She is at her absolute happiest when all the children are engaged in their passions allowing her to sit and knit and watch Doctor Who. She is not completely sure what superpower she'd like to have, but she's pretty sure that it would involve time travel and yarn -- because what is the use of time travel if one doesn't use it to acquire more yarn?
