intro - where have i been?
obviously not here! never knew there was a toledo board... hmm!
greetings. i'm katie and i am a south toledoan. 23. married. 1 DS. i moved to toledo from paulding county 5 years ago. currently, i am a SAHM trying to pick away at my degree. i'm a communications major at UT and i will FINALLY be done in the spring. nothing like getting a bachelor's in 6 years. DH works in maumee as a civil engineer. we are hoping to move out of our current neighborhood sooner than later. waaaaay too much crime for me.
i'm a baby-carrying/cloth-diapering/formula-feeding/pro-vaxing/crafty/closet-hippie/couponing/bargain-hunting/picture-taking/musical/DIY kind of mom. but i would never try to say my methods are better than yours. i just do what works for me. 
HIIIIIIIII!
Re: intro - where have i been?
Hello!!!
Okay your siggy picture looks amazing...I'm not a huge fan of sweets but it's making me want to try tackling that project.
they are VERY yummy!
not as root-beerish as i thought they would be but c'mon! they're chocolate! they were honestly the first cupcake i had ever made from scratch. (i'm a terrible baker & usually burn everything) so they were very rewarding to make. like little scrumptious masterpieces. 
Welcome to the board!!!
I'm a South Toledoan and have a Communication degree from UT as well.
I love your last paragraph there!! haha It is great.
Welcome, we are very nice.
I'm a SAHM as well, actually there are a few of us on the board.
lol maybe you'll find it as funny as me but probably not.
My maiden name is Lake and whenever I apply for crap online to get free stuff it comes to Katie Lake. I always liked the name and while I'm not a Katie I feel a kinship to the name...haha so I LOL'd at your name!
My email address that I put on the stuff is areyoukiddingme@yahoo.com haha hopefully that's not yours and you haven't been getting spammed because of my silliness!!!
BUT, welcome to the board!!!
that's so funny! actually, katie is my first name and lake is my maiden name! and no, i haven't gotten any spam! you're lucky........
