Free time, what’s that?! Just kidding. I love to play with my kids outdoors, I love to read, and I really enjoy being in the pool in the summertime. I enjoy traveling and cooking and going out to connect with girlfriends or family. I love movie nights with Justin and putting together puzzles while I listen to him play guitar after the kids have gone to bed. I’m happiest at home with a cup of coffee around my family.
I am wife to Justin and mom to David, Luke, and Emily. We live near Raleigh, NC. David and Luke are 14 months apart and Emily is 2 years younger. They are all different with amazing personalities that I have the pleasure of seeing the older they get and I love being their mom.
Justin’s a fantastic dad and husband and runs his own drone flying business called Raleigh UAV.

Behind the Screens: Influencer Business Part 2
One. Take everything out of the space.
Two. If you want to buy organizational containers, keep the receipt!
Three. Ask yourself, “if I needed to, could I replace this one day?”.
No, but I’ve lived in North Carolina since 2006. I’m originally from outside of Chicago, Illinois. I got weary of the winters and was craving a change, so I moved down south and never looked back!
I live in Raleigh, NC. I’m originally from Illinois, and grew up near Chicago! I love the South, but the pizza here doesn’t compare to Chicago Style Pizza!
