Hello All, I hope that life and the world are treating you well in these crazy times. It has been a very long time since I was active on here. In 2017 I gave birth to my first son, Austin, who was 3 months premature. We spent 4 months in the hospital with him and with being a new mom and the site just fell out of out of mind. Fast forward 5 years and we've added Elias who is three and I'm trying to get back into the things I "lost" as I became a mom AKA me time. LOL

ALSO, if I've hosted a swap at any point on Swap-Bot and you'd like to host it again, please feel free. No need to ask and you are more than welcome as I don't mind at all :)

My name is Melissa, I'm a married mother of 2 boys and live just in a "small" town called Brantford in Ontario Canada. I work from home for the Bank of Montreal. I love to read, write, pen pal, music, movies, online games, facebook, learning, swapping, postcards, crafts, the outdoors, swimming, bowling, photography, pinterest and much more. I have three cats. I am originally from Pennsylvania but moved to Canada when I married my husband. I've lived here for about 14 years now. All my family is in the US still. :)

I'm very varied with my music but it's mostly hard rock.
