Hey there!!! I am so excited that you are here! This has been a long time coming- I am nervous, but I am excited to be able to share more with you!! I can't wait to get to know YOU! Here is a little more about me: I have been married for 18 years and have twin teenage boys (which means life is busy).  I have been an educator for over 22 years.  My current role is an Instructional Coach for grades K-2 (I passion for the littles).  I LOVE JESUS, coffee, running, and all things fashion! I love shopping where ever there is a good deal!  Don't worry- I will share all about my faith and teaching too!!

If you love positivity, affordable style, and JESUS; you have come to the right place!!  Welcome FRIENDS!!
