I had a very sad childhood, but that loss helped me build a a strong family and home of my own.

Ok, this is the last set!
What's your favorite exercise song?
I unapologetically love 80’s music- so any jam from that era gets me moving!
What are your favorite local and not local social media accounts to follow? I follow way too many - interiors, food, cats, travel, needlepoint, clothes, terrariums and health! But right now I'm really liking Psychologie of Home.
