Do people still do this?! Haha. Hi, my name's Deidre. I live in a small town, in Manitoba, with my husband, my 3 year old daughter and two dogs. I've been working as an Educational Assistant, in our school division for 6 years now. Penpaling is something I spent a lot of time doing as a teenager, but have lost touch with everyone throughout the years. My husband and I are expecting our second child in September, so as I go onto Maternity Leave, this summer, I'm definitely gonna need something to keep my mind busy!
