A couple of months ago I was sitting in a meeting at work when I got an emergency call from my son Carters teacher. He had developed a boil on his neck that was sitting right on his spine. What had initially looked like an insect bite the day before quickly grew and hardened into […]
Dating 101 – My rules of engagement Whew child…Dating as a single mom is drastically different than anything I’ve ever experienced in the dating world. Of course I have two little ones to consider that I didn’t have the last time I was on the market, but I’m also drastically different as a woman, so […]
I’ve been an adventure junkie from as far back as I can remember. I love making memories, trying new things, and having fun.

If you watched my introduction video I am very candid about a bathroom moment I experienced that changed my life. Over the past couple of years I have had a few different moments that have been pivotal in my development; this one that I am about to share truly shaped my emotional health journey… Towards […]
