About Me
- Deb
- A semi-crazy 40 something "livin the dream" in a small northern Michigan town. I'm a mom, wife, business owner, and full-time employee (because said business doesn't make enough $$$$). I've been married for almost 20 years and have two teens...one at home and one living on his own. There is also 1 adorable dog and 1 fat cat living in our crazy house. One thing is certain, life keeps you on your toes and change is inevitable. I love travel,photography,diy projects, home repairs, gardening reading, wine, and creating. Pour a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and stay for awhile. I love having friends over to visit.
