• I have one boy and 3 girls that I’m crazy about!
• I have a designer fabric obsession.
• I fought a rare life-threatening disease at the age of 6 {Reye’s Syndrome}.
• I believe in Jesus Christ.
• My favorite movie is Disney’s Tangled.
• Sometimes I turn down great opportunities and it’s hard, but I want my family to know they always come first.
• You can always find a great book on my night stand… I love to read.
• I’m a chicken on scary amusement park rides.

• I want to be a better photographer.
• My happy place is the BEACH and I wish I lived near one!
• I try to be a good mother…sometimes I feel like I’m a referee.

I have loved Ucreate for some time now and when Kari asked us to guest post several months ago I have to say… I was walking on clouds for a couple of months afterward!! Thanks Kari for being you and for creating something fabulous that we can all share in!!

Suzanne has become one of my dearest friends through this whole blogging “thing.” We discovered her last year when her Sugar & Spice party was featured on Amy Atlas. Whitney and I were GIDDY to find out that both Suzanne and Jeanna lived here in Las Vegas. We immediately contacted them and we’ve been kindred spirits ever since!! Suzanne just oooozes style and talent and I am truly blessed to call her friend!!
