I'm a Roman Catholic in Central MN with so many hopes for myself and my family. A wife and mother to 7, and 2 in heaven. I spend most days trying to achieve my goals with homeschooling our children, building my faith, personal health, romance in marriage, nurturing friendships, managing finances, and caring for our home. We have a passion for life and our faith. We lead a average lifestyle, centered around our faith, family, and personal sanctification.
