Hi!
Jennifer, 26 Seattle area 5'5" 280-290lbs. I have one son and 4 step sons. For the last year all my step sons have lived with us. My oldest, 14, just moved back to his Mothers. His brother my 13yr old, who has lived with us the longest is "visiting" with his mom and she is trying to keep him. So this is a touchy subject with me right now. My other two step sons, 11 & 10 live with us. We are steal dealing with perm custody issues with them too. Currently we do not have official custody of any of them. I also have an "adopted" son who is 13.
I am currently pregnant, but it is too early to know if I should say "he or she". I am hoping for another boy and my partner wants a girl. I am hoping for one more boy, then one more pregnancy for the girl. Then we will probably be done.
I have two dogs;Sadie Black Lab mix & Joey Border Collie; and one ferret, Rodent. (It's an inside joke)
I have not been anywhere else yet on iVillage other than here. I do plan on visiting some pet spots if they are available. I was on iVillage a long time ago and I was on a few pet boards. I also saw there is a board for one income households. Which we are, I work and my partner stays home. I am interested in checking that out for $$$ saving ideas! And a group for large families for organizing strategies for a large family. If anyone here has a large family or one income home-- please feel free to give me any advice or hints! : )
No vacation for me. I was out of vacation by May. : ( I'm an idiot when it comes to "saving" my vacation. Keep your fingers crossed I do a better job come Jan 1st when I get my new vacation days.
We have gone on a few weekend camping trips with my In-Laws. (Who I get a long great with) Those have been very enjoyable. Especially the last one because it was on my cousin-n-laws property. Big open property fenced, and where not fenced too step of cliffs for the dogs to go down. So our dogs got to run free with all the family dogs. My Aunt-n-law (although I just claim most my "n-laws" as my own) does Boxer rescue so she had her pack! My kids also got to pretty much roam free and be safe. The previous owners had built look out tower things, they used the property for paint ball. So the kids had great FORTS!
Also, if you haven't noticed from all my post, I'm not good at making it short. : )

Also, let's get to know each other and answer a few questions:
1. Do you have any pets? If so, how many and what kinds?
2 cats a rag doll and a Maine coon look alike from the pound
2. What are your favorite places to hang out on Ivillage? Usually just here.
3. Are you taking, or have you taken, a vacation this summer? If so, when and where?
Took a trip to the lake for a family reunion
Jess, 25, Oregon, 242/185/130.
1. No pets of my own. My parents have a dog, Randy, whom I love and miss dearly.
2. 100 Pounds or More to Go, and that's about it right now.
3. I took a five day trip back to my hometown after the bar exam. I stayed with friends, ate too much, drank too much, shopped too much, didn't exercise, and did nothing productive whatsoever. But I spent the rest of the summer studying for the bar, and I start work next week.

I have a dog named Butterscotch, she is 15 years old and lives with my parents because I'm not home much and my parents house is her "home."
This is actually my first and currently fav place on ivillage :) A friend told me about iviallage a few weeks ago, im so happy I found this!
I went to Mustang Island on the coast (close to South Padre Island) the last week in June. It was so beautiful and relaxing! We were within walking distance to the beach. I want to go back next summer. This was my first vacation since 98. I really enjoyed every single moment (7 days).
