Family & Home

Me and my daughter moved into our new home 3 years ago to ensure a good neighborhood and school district for our family. We have a great home with 3 bedrooms,  1 waiting for a new little one to occupy it. We have an amazing finished basement that opens up to a large back yard that is completely fenced in for the kids to play in very safely. We have a dog and a cat that are both good with kids. Our neighborhood is full of kids that love to play outside with each other in the summertime and invite each other to birthday parties. I love our new community that we moved to 3 years ago, it is safe and accepting and promotes caring and kindness. 

My family is absolutely amazing. I live fairly close to my Mom and Dad who are very involved in my daughter's life. They watch her on the weekends that I have to work and one of my daughters favorite things to do is have sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa's house on those weekends. My parents attend every local and sometimes travel gymnastics meet, they come to every swim meet and horse riding show that my daughter does. My parents are always willing and available to help watch or take care of my daughter whenever needed; we love just going out to dinner with them and spending time with them. I also have 3 sisters, they live a little farther away but all play a big part in my daughter's life. My sister Amanda lives in Dayton and she has 3 children,  my daughters cousins whom my daughter adores…we get together several times a year either me and my daughter drive down to their house or we meet at a hotel part way between the houses for a weekend so they can all spend time together.  Another sister Katie lives up in Cleveland, she has a younger son whom my daughter loves to take care of and play with. Her favorite thing is to go to his birthday party every year to help him celebrate. My youngest sister Beth lives in Michigan,  she does not have and children but does have a cat so this is something her and my daughter have in common. She enjoys spending time with my daughter and my daughter has always loved her Aunt Beth and playing video games with her. In addition to this I have an amazing aunt who has been instrumental in helping me with my daughter.  She has watched my daughter every Thursday evening for a few hours so that I am able to run errands or attend appointments. And while this time is important for me, it is more important for my aunt who has never been married,  never had children and is somewhat lonely. Her favorite day of the week is the day she gets to watch.my daughter and being able to help me with my daughter is the reason she fought so hard to beat her cancer diagnosis 1 year ago. I have an absolutely amazing family who are very excited for me and my daughter to be able to add one more little one to our family.
