Location Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
Introduction I’m a single mother in Indianapolis, IN (Go Colts!) I have eclectic interests and so my blog is all about my favorite things. I am studying part time to become a mental health social worker and this is something very near and dear to my heart. When I’m not studying or doing my “momly” duties, I can be found in my craft room sewing, crocheting, or painting something. My dream is to be a part-time mental health social worker and a part time event planner. When I retire, and maybe even before then, I would like to travel. That’s something I have not been able to do much and I long to see the world and meet new people. So my hope is that I could travel quite a bit when I am older.
