About Me

My photo
"Life is either a great adventure or nothing." This quote by Helen Keller is how I feel about life! Most of my adventures happen in the walls of my own home. I have one son, two beautiful daughters, and a husband that makes me smile! We explore and have fun together. My blog is meant to document our family's adventures and share them with our friends and family.
