Hi everyone. My name is Katie, and I'm your basic nerdy nature dweller. I think there's nothing better for the soul than digging around in the dirt. But I'm also a nerd who loves the dark, cool embrace of a climate-controlled house, preferably with an amazing entertainment set-up, quality selection of dvds, a warm Nintendo, and boxes and boxes of Dots candy. I'm also a mom to a feisty dragon-like 2 year-old girl named Lily. I married to another nerd who specializes in Magic cards and D&D. Together we devour piles of books, and enjoy endless television and movies and order takeout food whenever we can. I have a professional background as a garden writer and editor, and currently spend most of my time working on freelance jobs at Mahalo.com, and serving as a secretary and newsletter editor for the Lions Club district in my area--both very fulfilling enterprises that fill up most of my free moments.
