CURRENT MISSION

Live, laugh, love, learn

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30 year old woman blessed with an amazing husband and wonderful friends with whom I get to share my home and my life. I'm between jobs right now thanks to all sorts of medical things, the human body is an amazing creation! In the interim, I'm enjoying every moment, learning as much as I can, loving with all that I have, laughing at every moment as it passes by, and living each of those moments to the fullest. Feel free to crash on the couch for a while (or one of the many spare beds) while I do!

PHILOSOPHY

I have one. Occasionally I'll share it. (;

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook, bake, brew, season, distill... Odds are if it's something culinary I can provide at least basic education.

I'm a genius at looking on the bright side, finding silver linings, and making the best from the worst. I can help you find something to laugh at no matter how dire the situation.

I'll be the biggest cheerleader you've ever had.
