Interests

I am a mom and love learning from the amazing tiny human I have been blessed to guide in this life. Finding natural and holistic remedies for common illnesses is dear to my heart. My dream is to write down and organize my knowledge on the subject and have a dedicated space in my home for all my holistic remedies. I love astrology. My Sun is in Sagittarius, Moon in Cancer, and Ascendant is in Scorpio. I’d love to know yours, too!
