About Me

My Family 

I am a wife to Daniel, mama to Lydia, and dog mom to Hera- our Great Pyrenees rescue pooch. 

My Location 

I office out of Kansas City, Missouri.  Prior to moving to the area I thought I was a country girl, but this city has changed me (except for when my southern twang exposes me).

My Hobbies

I love to craft. I really enjoy scrapbooking and recently have gotten into painting.  One hobby of mine is to collect brooches. Pictured above is my wedding bouquet made entirely out of brooches (and a styrofoam ball with loads of hot glue) I had been collecting since I was probably 14. I still collect them for future projects.

"How do you celebrate in one word?"

This was one of my interview questions upon entering my Masters program.  My answer: VACATION!

My Favorite Food

My favorite food is dessert!  I enjoy just about anything that has chocolate in it and I especially like cheesecake, macaroons, the peanut butter ice cream at Betty Rae's, and the key lime pie concrete at Andy's. Pictured is a trifle I made for Thanksgiving as a nod to the TV show Friends- this one does not have beef in it ha!

My Travels

I treasure opportunities for travel. Some of my favorite places I've been include: Hawaii, Mexico, France, Germany, England, Greece, and St. Lucia.  Pictured is Mykonos, Greece.
