I'm a 38yr. old mother of 1. I've been married for almost 17 years to a wonderful man, Kevin. We have one son together named Chase who is 11. We live in a small town in Arkansas and have a dog named Sassy and a cat named CoCo. My husband is a Database Administrator and I am currently working from home. I worked in a shop as a floral designer for 15 yrs. until it closed. My former boss decided to retire and lease out her building. I enjoy crafting, decorating, and hanging out with my family.
