Founder, Owner, Creator of The Snail Mail Clubhouse, St. Louis, Missouri.

I'm a Mom. Teacher. Coach. Lover of Crafts, Greeting Cards, Stickers, Stationery, Themes, Fitness Enthusiast. Children's Book Author Dreamer. Animal Nut. COFFEE! Wanna Be Cricut Guru.

Inspired to never stop learning, creating, making, sharing, laughing, applying myself. 

Learning how to reign in all my passions, ideas and projects, trying not to do "All the Things" at once.  That is seriously so HARD for me!  

I love simplicity, minimalism, YET obsess over The Little Things, get exctied about and want to know all the details. I immerse myself in processes, research, and a lot of distractions, which, yes, halt my projects. I love organized chaos and love being a little extra.  I can be hard to understand.  My husband once said, "I could write a book on your half-sentences".  Oh my half finished projects.  My mind runs in nano seconds. 

I'm happiest when I'm behind the scenes doing all of the above: creating, crafting, writing, researching, building, spending time with my family, working out in my garage and doing things to help and make others happy and smile.

I'm a true homebody with a NOMAD, vintage, traveling soul.  I want to see and experience the world, cultures, foods and meet people from all walks of life and corners of the world.

Laughter -- my favorite sounds on the planet.  If there's laughter, I want to be there. Always.

My XOXO signature is a tribute to my amazing grandma, Meemo.  This is how she signed all her letters.

Family Circle Newspaper Comics would arrive in the mail inside cards from my other grandma. Thanks for the humor, Mazie.
