Let’s start from the beginning, I was born and raised in the great beautiful country of Canada, and although I have not lived there for many years, I still call it “home.” I came to the states (what non-Americans call the U.S.) to play college softball, and this is where I met my current husband, Jon, also a college athlete. It was really love at first sight—as soon as I saw him play basketball, I was hooked. He is shy, easy going, and funny, everything that I am not. Anyway, we started dating when we were 18, and to my parents’ worst fear, I decided to stay in the states after graduation. I went to law school, and Jon, not only followed me, but supported me mentally and financially throughout those three years. I graduated during one of the worst economic crises of our time. While I was unable to find a “traditional” lawyer job, I received a job offer a day before I found out I passed the bar, and I have been happily employed with the company ever since.

In 2012, I became a mom, something I always said I was born to be. My sweet little bald 6lbs. 13 oz. baby boy, Brody, was born. My whole world, my true best friend. Then in 2016, my other sweet little baby, Bennett, was born at 9lbs 2 oz. Benny, as we call him, has the prettiest blue eyes (like his daddy), and the deepest little voice. He truly has made our family complete. This part of my introduction is short, and not because my boys aren’t important—a lot of what I will share or post will likely relate to family, being a parent, and all of the trials and tribulations that come along with it.
