Gina
Gina is an mom, an entrepreneur, a lover of coffee and essential oils and dry white wine. She tackles life with a sarcastic and often self-deprecating sense of humor but that is often for pure shock value. She likes to make people laugh and preaches seeing the good in every single human being she comes across. Being a mom is a challenge for her; the Groundhog-day, hamster-on-a-wheel, having to be consistent and repeat the same thing hundreds of times per day is not really one of her strengths so it's a struggle.

A Succulent Infatuation
My succulent infatuation is strong. Last summer, most of my hanging baskets and deck plants contained succulents in some way, shape or form. My friends made fun of me but there is just something...
