I love to-do lists! Like they make me crazy happy. I will write something on the list AFTER I complete it just to check it off. #iamaweirdo

Kids…enough said (ha!), reading, sports cheerleader, gardening (flowers and produce), reorganizing the pantry (nerd alert!), hiking

Georgie (our sweet outdoor kitty), Pedro a wild turtle (yes, we wrote on his shell so we can make sure it’s him), and 18 sweet hens that lay eggs in almost every color!

I love being a mom and a homemaker! It’s literally the BEST thing that has EVER happened to me. I never thought I would “grow up” to say that, but I guess life is full of surprises.
