: About Me

I am a busy wife and mother in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My family owns and operates a local garden center, where I work part time as an administrative assistant for my father.

I am frustrated by those who insist on seeing the world in black and white, because I see a million and a half shades of gray and they color my world. My greatest hope for my daughters is that they be open-minded, thisty for knowledge, curious and creative.
