Who am I?
I have 3 amazing children! And 2 fur babies. I enjoy almost any activity with my children and/or friends. I enjoy good meals, walking, playing games and reading. I love the beach, marsh, the mountains, lake, and most any place with beautiful nature and scenery. But ironically "I don't camp." It's a family joke! Oh and I love Hot yoga!
I know personally life can be a roller coaster...in the dark.. Taking turns we did not expect... and also amazing and full of new adventures, fun and joy!
