Sarah is my name and by day I am a Social Worker specializing in geriatrics. The remainder of my life is spent mothering, performing wifely duties, exercising, weight watcher-ing, reading, painting, cooking, (not sewing), swimming, playing board and card games. I love to grow a vegetable garden, make tomato sauce and salsa and canning them. Every June I pick about 15 pounds of strawberries and take them home to make jam. I love a good mini-series especially those of the mystery genre. I'm not much for confrontation but I've got an opinion on just about everything. I attended Slippery Rock University earning a BSW, then continuing to work on a Master's in Educational Psychology. The U.S. Army Reserves is where I met my hubby (Dik), after serving 6 years, I'd had enough. We have two children, a daughter MLM who will be 3 in May and our son BTM who turns 7 in June. In the past we've faced a year of unemployment, had to sell a house we loved and labored over for a whole lot less than we paid for it and have loved each other through it all. As for the general stuff; my favorite color is yellow (until recently it was red), my favorite food is cheese, fall is my season of choice, I prefer the ocean to the mountains, my taste in music varies greatly, I love hair dye and color my gorgeous red hair too often, my love of make up is not always evident and my fashion sense is more than flawed. I maintain a blog about the things and people I love, you can check it out at http://lovenailpolish.blogspot.com/
Hey y'all, I'm Amber. I grew up in the southeast, but am a midwesterner now. I'm a working mom of twin boys,Thing 1 and Thing 2. I am currently working as an academic specialist at a state university, but I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I love all things crafting...sewing, quilting, embroidering, basket weaving (for real, I'm not joking), scrapbooking...you name it. But what I love more than anything is spending time with my boys and my husband, Superman! I write two other blogs...one more personal about my life as a wife/mom/friend (twinfamous.blogspot.com) and one about my crafting enterprises (doitmyselfcrafts.blogspot.com), but I'm excited to write this blog with my old friend Sarah because our plan is to tackle everything...including things I wouldn't dare talk about on either of those two blogs, like religion and politics!
Sarah and Amber met in Mr. Alfonsi's third grade class almost 25 years ago. We were good friends throughout elementary school and middle school, but lost touch when we went to different high schools. We got back in touch thanks to the magic of social networking, and have begun developing a new friendship, based on similar beliefs and opinions, and a healthy ability to disagree politely and respectfully on other issues. This blog is a place for us to not only develop our personal views on life, but also to continue building this new as-adults friendship. SMAKK is a combination of our initials we thoughtwould help make a good title.
