Fun Facts About Me:
Wife to an amazing man (my best friend and soul mate), mama to the most incredible teen girl, social media junkie, crafter, photographer, traveler.  Social media allows me to keep up with all of my friends and family from all over. For some time, I have wanted a small piece of the internet for myself, to share my thoughts and ideas on great family vacations, good books, fun new recipes and shopping. My blog will include a little bit of everything that I may find interesting, and as the mama of a teen, a lot of parenting opinions, as well as many vacation posts (I’m a bit obsessed with travel). I hope you will enjoy my blog, and I invite you to stay tuned to see what I’ve been up to lately…read, enjoy and thanks for visiting!

Favorite Quotes:
Live, Laugh, Love…

One day can change everything…

Four things you can’t recover: The stone after the throw, the word after it’s said, the occasion after it’s missed, the time after it’s gone.

Dance like no one is watching, live like you’ll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, live like it’s heaven on earth.

If we do not feel grateful for what we already have, what makes us think we’d be happy with more?

Love the life you have, while you create the life of your dreams!
