I'm a working, mama bear of "Irish Twin" boys, a wife and a lover of Jesus. I hail from the Downriver area spending a lot of time in my community serving at my church, Southpoint Community Christian, and squeezing in a workout after the tiny humans go to bed or working on my never ending list of "books to read". I love exploring my community and finding new adventures to share with my family!
