All About Me...

Hellooooo there! My name is Lori (aka Kire). I live in Canada. My most treasured 'gifts' are my kidlets, Darryl,Kinsey, Kayla and Erik (spelled backwards is Kire! AHA!) 

I have been a stay at home Mom for the last number of years. Before I became a stay at home Mom I absolutely enjoyed my job as Legal Secretary however. my personal opinion is that as a fulltime Mom I am doing the most rewarding and important job now then I have ever done in the past or will ever do in the future. It also has given me the chance to volunteer when and where I can. I did "Lunch Duty" in my sons kindergarden class and I absolutely loved it!! I got to see my son at lunchtime and all the other children in the class I looked forward to seeing and hearing all they have to talk about! I continued doing "Lunch Duty" in the kindergarden class for a year even when my son moved up to Grade One. I was also able to finally go on Field trips and help and help out in class with reading.
 I also am currently a 'Beaver Leader' and 'Scout Leader' and I am having the time of my life!!! Joining the Scouting organization has been a wonderful opportunity for my children and also for me!! It has opened a whole new world for me and I have met some wonderful new 'friends'.

My passions are making 'stuff', reading (looooove John Grisham esp.), Carousels, CHOCOLATE (of course) My newest 'interests' are 'pit crew for a racing team' and I think my otherwise brown thumb is showing some green!!!! I'm having better success with my houseplants then in the past and have become quite excited with all the new growth my plants are showing!! Only problem now is finding room for each 'new' one! (My garden on the other hand is still suffering!! Thank goodness for a neighbour that looooves to garden lol)

My goals creatively for the future are to write a children's book or two and a Non Fiction novel (the ideas and experiences are there - just getting them out needs some work!!)

Family and friends are the most important thing to me and I am forever greatful that in that area I
have been truly blessed! Getting acquainted with this puter has opened the friendship circle up quite abit!! Never would I have believed a year or two ago that I would meet people 'online' who would become dear to me - but thanks to my chattin buds -I now believe big time!!! I have met some really wonderful people from all over - definitely too many to mention - I hope YOU ALL know who you are!!! We share so many tips, information, emotions, etc. I have learned sooooo much! Foremost I learned that Americans are missing out on some fantastic CHOCOLATE BARS!!! (I'd be writing Congress!!lol)

Well enough of the boredom....I thankyou for stopping by and I hope you find something here you enjoy or touches your heart!!

BYE EH!!! :o)
