A Little About Me

My husband and I have been married since 2008 and we have three amazing kids (14, 11, & 8) and a big Goldendoodle who loves to hang out in my office. I love that I’m able to run a successful small business from home while also homeschooling our kids.

We love to travel and I'm constantly dreaming of our next family trip, while staying busy planning every client’s trip as carefully and thoroughly as if it were my own.

Thank you for supporting my small business so that I get to wake up every day with a job that I love.
