Let's introduce ourselves!
I am Debbie, I had my DS when I was 29 and he is now 3 1/2. I work FT and for the most part really enjoy my job. I just started graduate school for my Master's in Organizational Leadership.
DH and I have been married for 7 years. I am originally from WI and moved to the Twin Cities after graduation. One of my favorite things is to go up to my family's lakehouse in Northern WI when I have a long weekend.
I love to read and am in a book club that I have been in for the past 8 years. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I enjoy sprint distance triathlons and am trying to get back into exercise after an injury this summer.

I'm Sarah. I had DD1 when I was 28 and she is 6 and in first grade this year. DD2 was born when I was 31 and she is 3 1/2 and in her first year of preschool. I also work FT and enjoy my job in HR. I will be studying to take the PHR exam in the spring, but classes start in January.
I have been married for 10 years and together with DH for 18!!! We were both born and raised in the Twin Cities and our families are still here as well. DH works part-time and is stay-at-home dad the rest of the time, which I admit I am jealous of!!
We love spending time outside, going to the playground, riding bikes, going to the cabin, fishing, etc. I love to read and scrapbook! I have been taking a boot camp exercise class twice a week and really enjoy it. I've signed up for the winter session because, unfortunately, I've really come to terms with myself and that exercise is necessary. It keeps me happier and healthier!

I am Sue. I had DS when I was 32 and he is almost 2 (in January). I was born in NW Chicago suburbs. Married my DH 4 years ago, then moved to Cincinnati and then moved here this summer.
I'm lucky I get to be a SAHM, and really enjoy my DS. I taught special education behavior disorders 9-12th grade (private therapeutic day school) before I got pregnant. I loved the kids, but hated the paperwork!
I LOVE to read, but don't get nearly enough time anymore. I also like to sew and do other crafty things (although I do scrapbooking on shutterfly), but like reading, there's never enough time. My DS and I are taking a music class and will start a swimming class this Saturday.
I also need to get more in shape, but it has been sporadic since the move. Why do I always get into a routine, and then something messes it up? And it's soooo hard to get back into a routine.
Nice to meet you guys!

I'm Jessi. I'm 35 and a SAHM. I've been married for 12 years to a great guy. We have 2 kids - I had DS when I was 27 - he's 8 now, and I had DD when I was 33 - she's now 2. I have a small in-home daycare to help pay the bills. I just watch my niece, nephew, and a few of my friends' kids. It's hectic but it's life! I love to read, hang out with my family and friends, go camping in the pop-up we bought this summer, and I also enjoy a good nap on occasion! I run and workout most days a week since I love to eat. Nice to meet all of you!

I'm Sarah. I had my ds when I was 29 and he'll be two Dec. 15th. I moved here from New York in March of 2007. I don't get to go home much and that is where one set of grandparents is.. it's sad they don't get to see him much. I have two dogs, a dorkie poo, and a whippet mix.. I love to read, travel and take pictures... When I had more access to kayaking, I loved doing that too! I got married 11.28.08. My husband is an accounting manager for corporate united health group. I have about 8 years or so background in ASL and have decided that I really need to take some community education classes so I don't forget it! I have a very active son, so I'm looking forward to getting him into some classes or getting him into the community center pool this winter!

I am not yet 30. I will actually be 29 on the 29th of Nov. However, I can't wait to turn 30! I will finally be as old as I have felt for the past 8 years! I had my first when I was 19 and my second right before I turned 21. I have two boys ages 8 and 10. DH and I have been together for 12 years and married for 4yrs.
I love reading and watching movies and I love our yearly camping trips together.

I'm on the dark side of 35 closer to 40 than I care to admit. DH and I have been married for 11 years, had DS when I was 29 and DD when I was 32.
I love a good funny movie, a good book and love to play volleyball.

A couple months ago I turned 30 and I really wasn't looking forward to it, however the last couple months have been just fine. I had DS when I was 27 and we just celebrated his third birthday. Originally I'm from WI and came to Minnesota for college. While at SCSU I met my husband, got married, had some fun years of it just being us, and then we started to add to our family.

Hi. I'm Renee, I'm a couple months shy of 35 years old. I have two boys, Aaron who is 10 and has Asperger's Syndrome. And Morgan James who is 7 years old and is currently being assessed for ADD. I work very part time in my boys' school as the lunchroom/recess aide and I substitute Special Education Para when needed. I help out with my boys in Cub Scouts, I'm the Secretary and hubby is the Cubmaster. I also am the Lifetouch Yearbook Adviser of my boys' school, 2nd year doing that. I'm always busy and really don't know how I'd do it all if I had a job that was more than 3 hours a day. I truly enjoy my summers and holidays off with my boys. I work online for a few Scrapbooking Companies and in return get free product for advertising and promoting their stores. and I'm thinking of going back to college in January for Advertising Communication and Web Design.
I was born in NY, lived there until I was 12. Then we moved to Florida, lived there until I was 20 and have been in St. Cloud Minnesota ever since!

I'm Andrea. I'm 38. I had my DD when I was 33. (I was just a coupld weeks shy of my birthday! We celebrated my 34th birthday beside DD isolette. She was born at 31 weeks and weighed in at 3# 3 oz.
I was born in Milwaukee and moved to MN when I was 18 to attend the University of Minnesota --Twin Cities. I graduated with a BA in English w/ minors in history and Spanish.
I have now lived in MN for more years than WI, although I will forever be a Packer fan.
I love to read, scrapbook and go on outing with my DD. I have been married to my DH for 9 years. We were engaged twice, married twice, moved into our house twice because it burned down twice. So when we were pregnant, we figured we were having twins. We had a miscarriage. So we figured out we have to do things twice to get them right. LOL.
I run a 24/7 quick service restaurant in downtown Minneapolis.

Hi! I'm Beth and I had my first DS when I was 32 years old. DS2 came just a few days before my 34th birthday. I am currently loving being a SAHM to my boys, but will likely need to return to work next school year.
Before having kids I was an elementary music teacher for grades K-2. It was a wonderful job and I do sometimes miss it, but I am so glad I have been able to have these years home with my kids.

Hey girls! I am 31 and will be 32 in Dec. I have two kiddos. DS is 12 and DD is 3. I was excited to turn 30 and once I did, I felt as though I had earned some sort of badge or something. I have been a Mom since 19 and have always felt older than I am. I am married to a great guy who wears a tie and goes to the office to provide but is really a cartoonist and jeans and T kind of guy and makes me very happy. I have worked in mortgage and insurance since the age of 18 but started staying home when DD was born. I just recently enrolled in school for cosmetology and cannot wait to start. I've worked in an office all my adult life before staying home and I am so excited to to get out of that and do something creative and fun and make people feel good about themselves. As a mom, I know how important it is to feel good about yourself. I love to paint, read, bum thrift stores, meet my ladies for a rita or glass of wine, watch reality trash on E! that I would normally never admit to and have coffee and read the paper with my hubby. Ok, there is me in a large nutshell! ha ha Nice to meet you all!
