About Me

Staci
I love staying home with my 2 beautiful daughters and managing our home. I love refurbishing things from their old and worn out state into something new and/far different from what they were originally created for. Our family is also currently adopting(more like waiting at this point) 2 precious baby boys from Africa and can't wait until they are here. This is our journey.
