I am just a giant nerd! I love to laugh, have fun, and live life to the fullest! I'm full of quirks! I have so many loves and obsessions there is no way I would be able to put them all on paper, but I will try to give you a pretty good idea!
First and foremost I'm a mom and wife. I live in Jackson Michigan, USA with my little family. I have a son who is 19, a daughter 18, and an amazing firefighter husband of 20 years! I also have the best dog in the whole wide world -Mable! She is a super fluffy bernedoodle and i spoil her rotten! I work full time as a social worker, and love that I am able to help people and make a difference in the world. (INFJ)
I am a big fan of naps! I love to laugh and have fun and i don’t usually take myself too seriously! There is usually something that makes me laugh till I cry on a daily basis. I love anything pertaining to Nesting Dolls!! I enjoy being out in nature, camping, gardening, hiking and walking. I even like to collect rocks and shells (told you I was a nerd)! I find nature miraculous and fascinating! I love anything vintage, and Boho Chic is definitely my style. I am slowly learning Spanish (thanks Duolingo!) I am a total foodie, and i love trying out new recipes at least once a week! I am both a tea and a coffee person, and I just cannot get enough chocolate and sweets. I LOVE animals, ironically, I am allergic to just about every animal that has ever walked on Earth. I am a Detroit Tigers fan and that about sums up my interest in sports. Traveling makes me feel alive, and I do it as much as my time and wallet will allow. I have visited over 20 different countries, not to mention countless cities and noteworthy places in the US and Canada! I love to learn, and Skillshare is my jam! I take classes on various different topics whenever I can - from watercolor painting to data analysis, I just love to learn. I love bold, deep, vibrant colors, but purple is my favorite!I am curious, adventurous, hilarious, and open-minded! I have a free spirit and an old soul!
My favorite thing in the entire world (after my family) is being creative! I sometimes like to call myself a creatress, or craftzilla! I love creating and I am willing to try any medium! I have a huge ATC collection! I am addicted to art supplies!! I even have an historical crush on Vincent VanGogh!! Some of my favorite things related to arts/crafts are:

I am a total bookworm!! If you have a book that you love, love, LOVE - I want to hear about it! I always aim to read at least 25 books per year (I use Goodreads for tracking). I love the classics, and anything oddball. The only genres that I don’t really care for are romance and contemporary fiction..

I also have an eclectic taste in music. I really enjoy live music, and try to incorporate a live show into my schedule as often as possible. We are very fortunate to live in a town that embraces the importance of music, with our own symphony orchestra and monthly jazz nights! But I also love going to huge stadium concerts for popular bands/artists as well! Some of my favorites are listed, but I am very open minded and love trying out new things -
