Hi! My name is Melanie. I worked for 8 years as a respiratory therapist until I got married and was enticed away from work by my wonderful husband and his desire to travel. For the past 12 years I have been a stay at home mom to 3 energetic kids. I like to garden and bake. Much to my children’s dismay, I do not like pets. I hate ladybugs and exercising (but I do it anyways). I love bubble baths, a good book and crafting. I spend much time investing in my family, home and church. I love hosting and opening our home to others. Now I just need to learn Spanish so that I can host people in Costa Rica!
