About Me

- I live in Kalispell, MT where we own Tamarack Insurance. In my free time, I write for magazines or on this blog about parenting and I am an avid photographer.
-I have degrees in English and Education from the University of Colorado. I taught multiple grades from prek to 8th grade over 29 years. I also owned a preschool! I have certifications as a parent educator and as a Love and Logic facilitator.
-I also speak at conferences about will power, habit, and goal setting as well as teaching and parenting for excellence.
- My favorite thing to do is read! I love all books but my favorites are historical fiction or multigenerational family stories. My dream job is to own a bookstore.

- I love winter, snow, and mountain lodges.
