About Me:
I grew up in Georgia, and as an adult I have lived in New York City and Mississippi. We moved to the Chicagoland area four years ago and have survived four whole winters. My husband and I are the parents of a Star Wars obsessed 5th grade daughter, and a sousaphone and baseball bat toting freshman son. I love all things chocolate, bird-watching, watching flowers grow, and SEC college football. I love living here, and I have become a Cubs fan and a lover of deep-dish, but I will always be a Georgia Bulldawg at heart!
