Gardening, hiking and home improvement
I love to be outside as much as I can. It gives me a sense of grounding and peace when I am out in nature. Gardening and Hiking are ways that I can enjoy the outdoors and and the beautiful spaces around me. My husband and I are avid hikers, taking in local state parks as well as traveling to national parks across the united states.
Moving over the past few years has provided me (along with my husband) with the opportunity to renovate a few houses. I love to see the transformation that takes place when renovating a new space. There is something so satisfying to see a space transform into a newer, brighter version of itself.
