About Me
I’m a mom of two grown kids, Cade and Cole, mom-in-law to Lovely Laney and Sweet Olivia, AND I have two steal-your-heart grand-pups, Waffles and Biscuit. I have been in the construction business for years, building new homes as a residential contractor. Although I've enjoyed the journey, I now find myself yearning for the softer side of life.
With my two boys (and girls) on a running start into adulthood, I've decided to slow down and focus on the things that make me breathe a little easier and smile a little more often. Nothing stirs my soul like a romantic cottage flower garden and a gentle breeze with a lingering sunset. Time in a cottage garden always seems to nourish my soul. So here's to flowers, and dirt, and butterflies, and bees. I'll meet you in the garden!

Happy After All
Book Review
Happy After All was exactly what I needed at this moment in my life. To hear the stories of fighting to understand your faith again— a season I have just fought my way through— was so beautiful in helping me put words to what I had experienced, but also in helping me know that I’m not alone through the process. This book helped me see that fighting through darkness to find God again is possible, and that happiness is absolutely worth it.
