🌼 Hello, May! Let’s Embrace New Beginnings! 🌼

May is all about blossoming into new possibilities, and I’m here to celebrate life’s adventures, big and small. With the sun shining and nature in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we love most about living and thriving in the Silver Valley. From breathtaking landscapes to the warmth of our tight-knit community, this month reminds us of the beauty surrounding us and the opportunities that await.

As we kick off the month, we celebrate Small Business Week! It’s a fantastic time to support our local entrepreneurs and discover the unique shops, restaurants, and services that make our valley special. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee from your favorite café or exploring a quaint boutique, every little bit counts in uplifting our community and fostering connections.

And as May unfolds, we look forward to Memorial Day, a time to honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country. It’s an occasion to gather with family and friends, enjoy barbecues, and reflect on the values of courage and community. Many will hit the trails, camp under the stars, or partake in local parades—making lasting memories along the way.

So, join me as we dive into the spirit of May—filled with laughter, growth, and unforgettable experiences. Let’s make the most of this month together by embracing new adventures, supporting our local businesses, and cherishing the moments that matter most. Here’s to a fabulous May ahead! 🌷✨

About Me:

I'm all about spreading positivity and making a difference in the lives of others while having a fantastic time! Supporting my local community and small businesses is a true passion of mine, and I wholeheartedly advocate for mental health and overall well-being—all while savoring every moment of life!

My roots are firmly planted in the beautiful Inland Northwest, where I spent my days skiing down slopes and enjoying the stunning lakes. From Spokane, WA to Helena, MT, and from Spirit Lake, ID to Wardner, ID, these incredible places have shaped me. As a proud alum of both the University of Phoenix and Boise State University, I’ve been fortunate to grow my knowledge and skills.

Family means the world to me! I’m happily married to my high school sweetheart, Brian, and I’m the proud mom of Cole, who’s thriving at Bennington College in Southern Vermont. Recently, I’ve also embarked on an exciting journey to explore my Scottish, Italian, German, and English heritages—it's been such an adventure!

When I'm not working, you can find me carving fresh tracks at Silver Mountain, hiking through nature, enjoying a good run, rocking out at concerts, diving into a great book, or volunteering as a Grief Camp Buddy with Hospice of North Idaho. Most importantly, I cherish connecting with family, friends, and new acquaintances over laughter, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable memories.

So, come along on this vibrant adventure with me as we make a positive impact, support our community, and have a blast every step of the way!
