The mother of 11 children, and therefore,
she must be an expert!
Yes, any questions about "mothering", just ask Kimmy!
Her children range from 30 to 3
and they have 5 granddaughters who range
from 5 months up to 13! Pretty much every stage!
She has children who are married, just about married,
in college, out of college,
toddlers and teenagers...
you name it!
Kimmy spends what little free time she has, "freelancing".
Her poetry, short stories, pen and ink drawings, photography and graphic design works incorporate
God, her family life,
growing up on the farm , trials of life, nature,
romance and a little humor of course!

"I like the variety in life
seen through my eyes of
everything I write..."
