She and her husband, Scott, have a combined family of ten children--seven boys and three girls.

She loves to cook, play with her children, snuggle with her husband, and will never tire of learning new things.Visit Kimberly's website: www.kimberlyjob.com and blog: Scribbled Scraps.
LDSWBR: What activities do you and/or your family participate in every summer? Do you have plans to try something or go somewhere new this year?
KIMBERLY: This will be our first summer as a married couple and combined family, so we look forward to starting some new traditions. Our days will be filled with picnics, swimming, camping, soccer tournaments, and hopefully maybe a vacation thrown in--and chores!
LDSWBR: Do you have a favorite summer food or drink?
KIMBERLY: Bean Salsa a.k.a Cowboy Caviar made with fresh garden tomatoes. We eat it with tortilla chips, on fish, chicken, and omelettes, and even by the spoonful. It's that yummy!
LDSWBR: What books are on your summer reading list?
KIMBERLY: The Golden Spiral, Bright Blue Miracle, I am Not a Serial Killer, Mockingjay, When Panic Attacks, Imprints, Gravity vs. the Girl, the Road Show and lots more.
LDSWBR: Thank you, Kimberly!

I like to eat the tomatoes right off the vine
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a BLT on a hot summer day:)
ReplyDeleteI, unfortunately, am one of those who do not care for tomatoes. Oddly though, I do like ketchup and spaghetti sauce.
ReplyDeleteI love to sit outside or inside with a tall glass of water and a terrific book. Of course this is done at the expense of my housework, but reading is so important for the good health of one, that putting off housework is acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for fresh tomatoes unless you grill them or put them in the oven and bake them. I do love sun-dried tomatoes though.
ReplyDeleteThinking of eating a tomato right now is making my mouth water. I gotta go find one.
ReplyDeleteI love eating Salsa that the ingredients came mostly from the garden. Raspberries are the best also.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the ones who doesn't like tomatoes. I do love making salsa, and stewed tomatoes for spaghetti sauce though.:)
ReplyDeleteYuck! Tomatoes are NOT my thing! My husband loves them though.

I don't like eating tomatoes plain. I don't mind too much if they are in a salad or on a burger.
