As a mother of four, I can honestly say that raising my kids alone was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Ten years ago, I was in an awful relationship that I knew I had to get out of. So, I made the difficult decision to leave the state and start my life over.

Fast forward several years later, and I am now in an amazing relationship with an incredible man. We have a blended family of eight kids and four grandkids, and I couldn't be happier. I am so thankful for the life I have now and the strength I had to get out of that awful relationship.

In addition to being a mother and a partner, I am also the office manager of my partner's pool business and recently started my own business. It has been a lot of hard work, but I am so proud of the progress I have made. I am thankful for the support of my partner and my family, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow my businesses and enjoy my life.
