i am a beach girl. a wife. a mom. a daughter. a technical writer. a dreamer. an entertainer. a cruise girl. i love to eat. to read. to write. to cook. to create. to travel. i adore listening to Dave Matthews Band, One Republic, Jack Johnson, and AJR. i get energy from the ocean. a boat. dance competitions. a coconut scented shower after a day at the beach with sun-kissed skin. summer. my husbands grilling. i can never have enough cookbooks. books. serving pieces. laughter. kisses. silliness. rum.
