About Me


Person, wife, and mom who loves to read, write, entertain, go to the lake, spend time with my boys and decorate. I just try to take life for what it is-pretty dang good most of the time. We found out that we are soon adding some much needed estrogen to this family dynamic.


I am a business professional for a small business by day and a superhero by night. On the weekends and most of my spare time I simply go by "mom".

This is our world and I am happy to share it with you but you must come without judgement and a good sense of humor. I don't play well with others that don't know how to lighten up. This is for my sanity. This is for me to have a way to mark our children's milestones. This is for me to be able to record our history one day at a time. Because if I don't do it who else is going to?

Life is too short to not take joy in the little things, celebrate and commiserate over some of the big things, and just let it all out. The good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly are what you will find here. But I promise to always be truthful almost to a fault. 

Welcome to our place in warm, sunny Minnesota!
