I have a background in child development and have spent the last 40 years of my life raising children in some capacity or another.  I am an avid believer in "kindness produces kindness" and that is what prompted me to start Sock Monkey Nation a kindness and anti-bullying program.  I am a Northern Michigan native and love the beautiful area that I reside in.  I am wife to Michael, mother to two grown daughters Candi and Kristy, Nana to William and Kaleigh and mommy to my standard poodle named Maxwell House...yes I love coffee!
