I’m a 40-year-old mama to a toddler daughter (our later-than-expected dream come true after several years of trying) and an early education advocate/former teacher. I have a side business spreading my love of reading by selling children’s books, toys, and learning kits as a PaperPie Brand Partner, and I also work full time from home as a remote employee for an early childhood related nonprofit association. In my free time I love scrapbooking/journaling, reading, and listening to any music by Andrew McMahon. I’m a lifelong Michigander at heart despite having spent over a decade of my adult life living in the Washington DC area prior to moving back to Michigan last year.
