About

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and have a seat. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a wife and mother. My husband and I have been together for over 20 years. We have a daughter that is a Freshman in college and a son that is in junior high. I am blessed with my family.

I love animals, shopping, experimenting in the kitchen, and crafting. We have five cats. Yes. You read that right. 5 cats and 1 dog. If my husband would let me, I would have 30 cats. I’d take 30 dogs too if I could take care of them. When I feel physically up to it. I love shopping. Going to stores like Marshall’s, Ross, and/or Gordman’s. It is usually a day-long event with my daughter and myself, and although it takes me days to recover the time with her is always worth it. I love to cook. I can scroll Pinterest recipes for days looking at recipes. I think my family hates that they never know what I’m going to conjure up for dinner. I, also enjoy working with crafts. I make jewelry when my body allows. It is a creative and relaxing outlet.

We live in a small town (Population 650) in Illinois that is about an hour from St. Louis, MO. The rural community we live in means we drive a lot. Especially for doctor’s appointments to see specialists. I have a long list of specialists. I have chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, and most recently I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. My body just doesn’t want to function properly. I’m learning how to eat, play, and live in this body that does it’s best to fight me every step of the way. Thank you for reading. I hope you’ll come by again soon.
