About me

I am on a quest for beauty and try to find it everywhere, even in hard things. I currently serve as Director of Children’s Ministries at Church of the Apostles in Connecticut. I am also a writer/artist and have published two children’s books. I am an enneagram 4 and everything that entails. I have been married to my husband, Ryan, for 16 years and we have a daughter (11) and son (8), a Yorkie named Hugo (16) and a Netherland Dwarf bunny named Reynie.

Yorkies have been a part of my family for as long as I remember (see if you can find me as a little girl with the first Yorkie I can remember, Benji, below). You can also see me with the two Yorkies that inspired Amy’s New Puppy below, Hugs and Kises.

And because I love lists, here is a list of things I love:
