Hi, I´m Joey!
So, I’m a writer. But the funny thing is, any time I sit down to write a short blurb about myself, all of the words fall right out of my head. (I know I can’t be alone there…) So I thought the best way to do this is to just drop some facts here:
I started my blog in 2009 and has brought so much good into my life. I wrote my first book in 2010 just to see if I could do it then published it in 2014. Little did I know it would literally be the thing that saved me and my little family in 2023. I met my husband in 8th grade P.E. class, and after 11 years of marriage, we welcomed our son in 2021.
