Arvada Readers, Hello! Let me finally introduce myself!
I am a teacher, a small business owner, a lover of spicy bloody marys, and your Editorial Coordinator! I’m a lover of Shitt’s Creek, and I’m a disaster in the kitchen-unless my only responsibility is grilled cheese. I can’t get enough of my Chiweenie Drake, and
if it were up to me, brunching and the NFL would be prioritized so hard that all things would be closed on Mondays.
I’ve lived in Colorado all my life, in various neighborhoods, and here’s what I have learned about making your home the happiest.
