My family always get together for the holidays to enjoy each others company. I just returned from vacationing in Las Vegas with my children, sibling and nephew from New York. The vacation was fabulous. I am currently employed as a House Manager in a Social Service setting working with DCFS Wards Of The State.

I love teaching my 2 grand children Life Skill, playing games and going bowling with children. I also enjoy as a hobby creating bath and body products.
