I am a mom to 3 kids and wife to an amazing husband. This family of mine is my greatest accomplishment and eternal joy. 

I am a special needs mom as my son has autism.

I'm a “retired “certified dog trainer - although I can’t resist helping friends and family with their new furry family members.

I own and manage two picturesque  A-frame cabins in the Adirondacks that are vacation rentals.

I love to sing. 

I love running.

I love singing at the top of my lungs while running.  Not sure if my neighborhood feels the same way about it as me though.

My biggest pet peeve is puns on words. Especially when places are named with a pun in them.  Yet, I kind of love them and use them often in jokes. Maybe it's not actually a pet peeve?  Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.  

I love to think up ridiculous human names for dogs.  My most recent, Darlene.  “Darlene, get over here!!” 

I love coffee and red wine. 

I love fall.

I love the color orange.

I adore strong rooted friendships and community and I hope that this is what you find when you come to my site.
