As a wife and mother of two teenagers living in Southern California St. Louis, Missouri, I’m a busy, wife, mother, educator and sister. I teach history, knit, quilt, weave and ride my horses as much as life and time will allow. As I move through my 40s, yes getting closer to 50 than I want to imagine, I find myself exploring life in a new way by opening myself up to new experiences and learning to take life as it comes and not so much as I would like it to be.
