Elissa
I'm a Vermonter born and raised but after college my husband and I moved back in 2010 and have fallen in love with the state all over again. We're raising our 2 boys on 10 woodsy acres in Westford. I stay at home with my boys and work from home - though striking the balance between these two is challenging at times. You can follow me on my personal blog at www.theworldwasturning.com.
