I am a native Vermonter. I was raised in Waterbury and have moved around to several different places in Vermont, but have been comfortably settled with my family in the Malletts Bay area of Colchester for the past five years. I am a wife and a mother to two wonderful children Alexis(11) and Norman IV (8), and also have a dog who thinks that she is a human named Cheyenne. We are an active family. We love to travel and our absolute favorite place to stay is Orlando, Florida where we are frequent visitors. I have worked for the past three years at a child care center in the Malletts Bay area. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and I am currently pursuing my Bachelors Degree in Professional Studies. On May 19, 2014 our world was turned upside down when Norman IV, also known as Little Man, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He is a fighter though! He is my hero. Never would I have imagined that my child would take it all in stride, better than his parents in fact. We have done our best to make him feel just like a normal kid his age and let him be little despite being sick. I am excited to be part of this team and excited to see what the future holds!
I was running late getting home from work on May 19,2014 when my phone rang.
I was in the middle of closing up the center with my boss when I answered that call not knowing...
I miss the years where my two year old would throw herself on the ground and throw the most epic fits to try to get what she wanted.
I remember being in a grocery store...
