Personal Highlights

On my off time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, sipping cocktails next to our pool. I also have a small obsession when it comes to flower planters. I know I have at least 35 in my garage just waiting to be planted for when spring comes. I have three step kids and 2 little pups that keep me busy.
