CURRENT MISSION

Shop, play, laugh and learn as much as possible before I leave this life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a contagiously enthusiastic, free thinking, silliness making, mom, partner and friend. By trade I am a children's toy store owner, sex education teacher and parenting advise columnist/author (Sex Ed Mom). Our family is very fun and we are all super easy to get along with - especially if you like Nerf gun battles and hide 'n seek in the dark.

PHILOSOPHY

Create joy as often as possible - even when you hit life's many roadblocks. Joy and enthusiasm are contagious but don't waste your time with negative people. They'll never change and will only try sucking the joy out of your life.
