My Family

This blog was supposed to be me breaking free from living vicariously through my kids but here I am, talking about my kids. In this section you’ll find talented Chloe and her main man, Nate, my sweet son, Gavin who is killing it in his acting career and super smart college student, Sophia. Our life is always a whirlwind of excitement! My Mortgage banker husband is pretty cool too!

  • Road Tripping with Gav

    June 13, 2019

    Gavin and I always have lots of things to talk about. We have a very strong and, dare I say, psychic connection. As we drive along, we dig deep. We always dig deep, not just during road trips. There is never enough time to talk about all we want to talk about.

  • Springtime in the Garden

    May 2, 2019

    It doesn’t get any more beautiful than spring in the garden in the Pacific Northwest. From the Flower Festivals to dogs playing on the grass to cherry blossoms and all the tiny new growth everywhere you look. The earth is reborn. Duck pairs swimming in the pond waiting for the ducklings to hatch, hummingbirds finding their nectar in the best flowers and deer showing off their tiny fawns. Then, eventually, there are the baby ducklings waddling behind momma duck and tiny squirrels coming to the feeder to learn to beg for peanuts. It’s pure magic!

  • Saying Good Bye To Mom

    May 2, 2019

    Empty nesting has it’s challenges. Losing our parents is a big one. There’s no easy way to get through this life changing event that we all face, eventually. Looking back on this day for me, I realize that it was perfect.
