Hello Friends and Welcome to Love My Big Happy Family!

My name is Lori Grace Hill.  I am a teacher, writer and artist, a mother of four (and four “kids-in-law), and gramma of eight.  I have a BS Degree in English Teaching from Weber State University where I also attained a dual teaching certificate for both elementary and secondary grades.  My professional career includes over twenty years of experience as a teacher and school administrator, as well as 10 years as a Legal Assistant at the United States Attorney’s Office.

I have a BIG happy family and I started this website to share all things family related!  Whether your family is big or small or somewhere in between, you will find articles written from my heart to inspire you to enjoy, learn, create and most of all – LOVE YOUR FAMILY!  

I am the youngest of five children born to Bob and Jean Hill.  I have three older sisters and an older brother who died as an infant.  We lost my mom over twenty years ago in 1992 and we lost my dad in 2011. My sisters have given me three brothers-in-law and oodles and gobs of nieces and nephews (including greats, steps, and in-laws)  The members of this part of my big happy family number somewhere in the sixties.

I’m recently divorced after being married for over thirty years to a troubled soul (I still consider his big extended family to be part of mine).   We are the parents of four children, two biological daughters and two adopted sons.  In 2004, when our girls were 11 and 12, we adopted our boys who were 13 and 14 at the time.  Our children have thus far given us two daughters-in-law, two sons-in-law, four precocious grandsons and four precious granddaughters.  Motherhood has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.  Being a grandmother is even greater! The members of my “immediate” big happy family now add up to seventeen!
