I’m Anne. I’ve lived in Arizona for most of my life and I love the desert. I grew up in a big family and had plenty of practice caring for little ones with my younger siblings, who I still adore. (I like my big brothers too). As a kid there were 3 main things I hoped for in my future; to be a mother, a teacher, and a writer. Those dreams have all come true for me. My husband and I got married in 2001. After a couple of years we started adding to our family. We never would have dreamed that we’d have 10 kids!
