In college I got a Bachelor of General Studies and ended up getting a Post-Bac teaching certificate for Special Education. I work part-time at Midvale Middle School as a learning Assistant in a learning resource classroom. These students are lively, inquisitive, and determined. I love working with them and they teach me more than I could ever teach them.
I love to get together with friends and family, when time allows. On the flip side, I love to spend time alone, reading, writing, and taking long walks with my dog. I refer to myself as a reclusive extrovert! I love music of just about any genre. I play the piano and violin and I'm the proud mom of two boys. I am a semi-caretaker to my widowed father, and have an awesome, supportive husband! Utah is a beautiful state, and I love to get out and explore it any time I get the chance!
I work with great companies to provide reviews and giveaways of products that I love. I also write original content with the series, #MyPostMonday, which is also where I curate the best original content of the week from around the web and share it on a link up. I've been blogging since 2010 and have worked with numerous companies such as Mrs. Fields, NeoCell, Pearl Paradise, Del Sol, Cariloha, Sundance Resort, Uplift Families, BonCom, Shabby Apple, Green Esthetics, and many more!
