Additional biographical information

Behind the Scenes of Giraffic Jam: When not immersed in a good book, you can find me sipping on Diet Dr. Pepper and planning my next mountain vacation or camping trip. Regardless of where I'm going or what I'm doing, there's a really good chance my two dogs and my husband are by my side. In my spare time, I enjoy creating decor with my laser cutter. Oh, binge watching TV? Yes, please.
