I’m nothing fancy, but I’m not plain. I’m here to whine, here to laugh, here to ponder, here to express. I always feel it’s okay to add more than one ! or one ? to the end of a sentence and a few … in between is always acceptable.

I named my blog, Karin Won’t Stop Talking, because even though I am writing or blogging, for me I am talking to all my readers. I am sharing a story or a thought or a fun laugh, and the only way to do it so it seems real from me to you, is by, essentially, “talking.”

I love football and the beach…but who doesn’t?!?! I’m an ex-nanny (this is being said with pride, of course). I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and I’m currently working towards a degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology.
