I am a 45-year-old woman that loves to experience life! I have been married to my husband Andy since 2000. We have spent over 2 decades together and have been blessed with many experiences along the way…both good and bad. The most amazing of those experiences is raising our 2 kids. Our son Alex was born in 2007 and our daughter Alyssa, in 2010. Parenting is an adventure all its own, but our kids make it quite an amazing one. My cousin Colin, an adult with Autism, is a part of our day-to-day life too, he spends the majority of his time with us. In our house, we have 2 Labradors, Dug and Duke, a cat named Otis, and a flock of chickens named after famous female singers. Our family loves to travel, it seems I am always planning our next vacation or getaway. For my day job, I am a 3rd-grade teacher and have been for 21 years. I mostly teach reading, so naturally, I have a love of books…fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books.
I want to use this blog as a way to help others find ways to figure life out and find what works for them. I want to share what is working for me and my family, and also what brings us joy. I finally feel like I’m figuring some things out, and maybe I can inspire someone else to do the same.
