I'm so excited you're here! I go by many other titles. Here is a smattering more: 

​

• Mom {I seriously wanted a dozen, but the 3 I got are the most special humans on this beautiful earth}.

• Best Friend {Oh my gosh I never know which is my favorite. But besides my family, my friendships carry me through all of my wilderness seasons}

• Sister {Oldest of 5 Girls-and let me tell you they are the dreamiest of all sisters!}

• Daughter {It's such a pleasure being friends with those two inspiring souls.}

• Wife {28 years}.

• Auntie {I love these young humans almost as much as my own!}.

• Gigi {Grandmother-a role and title that gets more exciting every day-I'm tearing up}

• Creator {At best I'd say I might just be brave enough to try anything once...what I've learned about creating is the more you do it, the more it flows and the braver I become. I'm also the woman behind the scenes. I want everyone around me to feel lighter when we part}.  

• Interior designer {Ahhh What a career I've had! When I think about designing, I never know which I like best: Being the genius behind the project, the interactions I regularly have with my clients, or the textures, patterns, architectural elements, creative meetings with amazing subcontractors, showing my clients money saving ideas, or pulling it all together, hmmm. Am I tooting my own horn? Maybe, but remember you just landed on "my about page", and my clients tell me I'm FABULOUS haha}.

• Artist {I prefer watercolors, because the way I paint has no immediate form, just pretty little blobs of color that somehow transform before my eyes, just after a few layers-it's like magic! I do like to try all kinds of avenues and mediums}.

• Writer {Are you like me and love to buy spiral bound notebooks, pens, highlighters, and pretty papers? Some of my best writing is when I doodle notes at BYU Education week every year. But I think journaling is probably what I do most often. Eh hmm, except for those stories that-could-maybe-possibly-turn-into-full-blown-novels-or-bestsellers-someday}.

• Adventurer {Oh my heart! Is there anything better than finding out what's right around the next bend in the road? Haha maybe the food on said adventures, but maybe it's the cultures, or the interesting people I meet along the way, or maybe it's the incredible vistas? They all take my breath away}.

• Cook {Did I mention that I love food yet? I especially like preparing it}. 

• Baker {Um, because hello bread. Hello sweets. Repeat. Repeat}.

• Thrift-er {It's got to be the designer in me, but I have found some gorgeous things}.

• Love expert {This one I'm working on, but I just love ALL. THE. HUMANS.}.

• Cheerleader {I cheer people! We all need it, me including, but oh to help another soul smile or laugh}.

• Happiness manufacturer {Heavenly Father put me on this earth to be happy. Women are that we might have joy. (2 Nephi 2:25) And I'm here to show you how}.

• Workshop instructor {Because I try-and-try-and-try so many things (**think a plethora of things-over-and-over until I feel pretty good about it); people ask me to teach what I've learned, and I do it willingly}.

• Gatherer {I love people, hosting dinner parties, laughing and goofing off, learning and keeping in touch with people I love from way back when, and I don't let go of them, and so I call myself a gatherer}.

• Saint UNDER CONSTRUCTION 2.o {I'm working on this one. Come along with me, and we can grow together}
