About carrien
I've been married 8 1/2 years. We have 3 children ages 7, 5, and 2 that I home school. My husband and I founded a non profit organization this past year. We plan to move our family to Thailand to help take care of children at risk in refugee communities in the north. Once I spent a lot of time complaining about my husband. Now I know I'm very blessed to have him and spend time trying to be a good wife. In my "spare time" I write.Website: http://shelaughsatthedays.blogspot.com
