• About Me


    Where do I start??? I grew up outside of Chicago, IL but now reside outside of Minneapolis, MN. I've been called many names in my life.... many of them derivitives of my given name. My son calls me Mommy. My husband calls me Honey. My students call me Teacher. My family calls me lots of things... However, here, you may call me Tendrils. I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, blogging, and scrapping in my "free time" (what is that?!?!)
  • Cast of Characters

    Hubby - My loving husband of 4 years.

    Punky - Our 2 year old son who is growing like a weed!

    Grandma Knock-Knock -- Tendrils' mom who lives in Illinois. (Punky's grandma) Since Mom lives in IL, she always used to cluck her tongue and knock on Punky's head when she would see him then cluck her tongue on the phone when they were apart. Now Punky calls her "Grandma Knock Knock!"

    Bacca -- refers to Grandpa Ed or Grandpa Kenny

  1. I’d recommend The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Neffenegger and something by Alice Hoffman. :-) Happy reading!

  2. please please please try and read anything you can by Cecelia Ahern. I cried during every chapter of her “PS I love you” and a couple of her other books were written about me (i’m almost certain)
