The written word is a longtime companion of mine. Whether it’s through personal journaling, mom blogging, relaxed reading, or story reviewing, I’ve found a way to connect with words. I often appreciate art, music, and photography; however, it’s through words that I best process troubled emotions, share my experiences, learn transforming ideas, and help others clarify intended meaning.
I'm a California native who left the West Coast to pursue a college degree. After graduating with a BA, I married a Cajun man and moved to the Deep South, where I’ve raised my ever-growing family (7 kids!) for over two decades. I'm proficient in cooking arroz y frijoles as well as red beans & rice!
My primary profession has been homeschooling mom since 2003, when my oldest began Kindergarten; I'm now teaching my youngest to read and write!
I consider myself a John Paul II generation Catholic who respects the beauty and potency of the Traditional Mass. I completed a bachelor’s degree from Franciscan University of Steubenville, OH. My creative writing endeavors include parenting articles, blog writing, saint stories, and various works centering around Catholic theology and Christian living.
My latest claim to fame: Winning the 2023 Louisiana State Fair with my Pumpkin Praline Pie!
