What, you didn't find enough on the home page?

OK, here's a few more:

 

We host exchange students for a high school year in the U.S. I'd guess you'd call it a habit at this point as we're expecting our fourth student for the 2002-2003 school year. We go through an organization called EF. Their web page is a little hard to navigate, but if you have questions about being a host family, I can probably answer them. When you're pregnant for the first time, people comfort you by saying you're not giving birth to a teenager. Well, every August, I sort of give birth to a new 16-year-old girl. The worst part of the whole experience is when they leave in June.

I am the Rescue coordinator for the Irish Setter Club of St. Louis. If you are interested in this breed, please visit the Irish Setter Club of America (ISCA)'s website. If you are interested in acquiring a purebred dog, please contact the breed club before doing so! They will tell you how to find a quality purebred puppy, or perhaps even a rescue who needs a new home. Please. Under no circumstances buy a pet from a retail pet store! If you'd like an Irish setter as purdy as mine, ask me about it. Purebred dogs are also often to be found in shelters and through the many groups working to rehome unwanted and stray animals.

I am working on my Masters in Education at the University of Missouri St. Louis. Here's a paper I wrote about Learning Disabilities for parents facing down an IEP.

The Working Woman's Guide to Staying Home is something I wrote for a parenting newspaper a few years ago.

We are members of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Florissant, Missouri.
