About me

About me... where to start?  I'm 30 years old, and I married my dream man in June of 2006.  We had our baby girl in May of 2009 and she is the love of our life.  We also have 2 four-legged furry kids, otherwise known as Dachshunds, Oliver and Sadie.  They truly are our first children, and we treat them as such.  I'm originally from the mid-west (NW Illinois to be exact), but I've lived in IL, IA, WI, FL, OK, AZ and now Italy!  I have a degree in business management, but I have put my career on hold to raise my child and be a stay at home mom.

I'm an incredibly open person, maybe even to a fault.  I love being surrounded by friends and family, although large groups sometimes make me nervous if I don't know everyone well.  I would hope that if people had to describe me with one word, they would use the word sincere.  I love to read and watch reality TV, and I think I'm one of the few people left in the world that still hand writes REAL letters.  I love sending AND receiving mail.  Traveling is a huge passion of mine (and my husband's) and if I had an endless supply of money, I would travel non-stop.  In March of this year my husband bought me my second (but first "good") sewing machine to aid me in my new-found hobby of quilting.  I am super excited to put my new machine to good use and see what I can create with it.
