About Me

I'm a hip chick from the suburbs of Chicago. I'm now living in Spring Hill, TN (a suburb of Nashville) with my amazing husband and my baby boy! I created, own, and run my own small business - an emergent literacy enrichment program(www.literacylaunchpad.com)(www.literacylaunchpad.blo gspot.com). Running your own business is hard work, and takes a lot of time, but I have so much fun doing it! It's an extremely rewarding job. I have a big family in Chicago that I'm very close with, and it's tough being so far from them. My sister Rebecca is battling cancer (pray for her), and that makes it even harder being away from everyone. I visit often though. And I have made great friends here in Nashville, many of whom are like family to me. I have great in-laws in Memphis that are only a few hours away. And I am an aunt to four adorable nieces! Sometimes my life is full of happiness, sometimes my life is full of heartache, but God never stops dishing out the joy!! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
