Welcome to my Corner
I’m a CPA with a passion for design and DIY projects (which, let’s be honest, my husband usually finishes because my ADD kicks in!). I love the finished product way more than the work it takes to get there. I’m also a proud mom to five amazing kids, including one sweet angel in heaven.
When I’m not crunching numbers or dreaming up home projects, I’m writing fiction novels—four so far! They’re still in the editing phase, but stay tuned! I believe everyone has a bit of greatness inside them, and I try to bring positivity into everything I do.
My husband (AKA Mr. “I Finish All Her Projects”) and I have been married for almost 24 years. Oh, and did I mention he’s a CPA too? We keep things fun around here!
I hope my blog inspires you to finish that project, write that novel, or simply be the best version of yourself. Let’s make life a little brighter together!
