About
- Born and Live: Meridian, MS, a sweet magnolia from the magnolia state. And, a steel magnolia when need-be. Spent several years in Memphis and Austin, TX, to get to my home in Arkansas where I have been for the past 20 years.
- Raised: 5th Generation Meridianite, until I bolted for college. Great place to be from, a place where your bosoms can be fake, your smile can be fake, and your hair color fake, but your pearls and silver must always be real.
- Lineage: Mississippi-bred Southern Belle who knows what “Bless Your Heart” really means.
- Educated: University of Southern Mississippi, B.A. in Journalism, emphasis Public Relations, Minor: Spanish (I really wish I would have paid more attention to that now)
- Hubs: The extraordinary park ranger, who really is not a park ranger, he is a park superintendent, but he wears a brown uniform and sometimes a gun, in a holster, and a bullet proof vest. These senior tour bus groups can be a gnarly bunch.
- Responsible for: Saving the world, well, not really my Jesus already did that, but He has given me two sons who I am charged with raising to be warriors that seek the face and heart of God, as they learn to wield a sword and conquer the ugly in this grand adventure called life.
- Day job: Founder and CEO of The Women Bloggers, Tribe Builder for Soapbox Influence
- Blog(s): I am known as The Park Wife in the internet world, of course, that is not my real name, I just pretend it is. It’s fun, and a little crazy. Yep, that about sums me up. I started blogging in 2007 as a way to express my inner writer and connect with… I really had no idea. I liked getting comments. Plus, The Pioneer Woman had a blog, I thought it was cool… badah-boom-badah-bing…The Park Wife.
- Other passions: Did I mention that I am married to a HOT park ranger? There’s my passion girls.
- Dream vacation: Small Italian village where I can grow a garden and have an 80-year-old Italian woman teach me all she knows about cooking and life.
