Welcome to my site!!


 I am a stay-at-home mother of 5, 2 boys and 3 girls including a set of twins. I love gardening, reading, and spending time with my kids. I graduated from law school in the top 10% of my class and passed the bar exam on my first try while pregnant with twins.

After returning to work for two years following maternity leave I decided to quit practicing law when it became clear that managing an office full of attorneys was not compatible with raising children at home.
