Bringing the True, Pure & Lovely into your Life.
I'm a small town girl living in a big town world. I am from upstate New York but currently live in St. Petersburg, FL. I am married to Pierce and we have one child, Maximus. I am working full time as a school teacher, taking care of my family, working with my husband on his two businesses, keeping the books on both businesses, selling Mary Kay, keeping my group fitness certication current, and contributing to this blog.

Being involved with this amazing group of God loving women gives me faith, strength, and love. I do desire to be a better woman, wife, and mother and each one of our authors writes to inspire that desire in all of us.
