Where to find me

My blog: Thoughts from the Stands

I started a sports-focused blog in 2009. I wanted to do something to keep up my writing skills and also have an opportunity to write freely about one of my favorite topics - sports.

This social networking site can be a fun one that you could spend hours and hours clicking through. I love looking at different recipes and even made a few of them for our holiday gatherings.

Give me a follow on Instagram to see some of the photos I post. I'll give you a bunch from sporting events, no doubt, but I'm looking to branch out and post a variety of photos as well.
