Hi, I'm Valerie

I'm so glad you're here!.
I am wife to Darren and Mom to Emily, Matthew and Michael. Emily graduated from college, bought a house, and is in grad school. Matthew is in college studying to be a middle school teacher, Michael is working hard, earning a good living and living the happy life.. We have also been the host family for a wonderful German exchange student. Malte lived with us in 2012-2013, Emily and I visited his family in Germany in 2016. We hosted Malte's brother for a week in 2017 when. he was living with a host family in Oklahoma. I am a national pageant queen, Miss American Diamonds Curvy Diva. I am also a Lifetime Queen for US United. I am a market assistant for alcohol tastings, and I am a GOLD LEVEL Ruby Ribbon Stylist. I love tea, and have recently become a Sipologist for Sipology Steeped Tea. I love wine and am working to become a sommelier. I'm inspired by Pinterest WAY too often, and I love to DIY. I build pallet furniture, chicken coops, decor and more! I also have backyard chickens whom I love, and who love me so much that they give me eggs. YUM! In my spare time, I watch my Kansas City Royals or Kansas City Chiefs. I now live at our Lake of the Ozarks lake home, which has grown from a 760 sq' cabin to a 2100 sq' home. I kuve the good life!
My blogs focus on travel and tea. I have separate pages for pallet projects and microfarming, including lots of really cool posts about my chickens. I also have a general blog which is more like a diary. I'm changing how I blog and I love the new style I'm using.
By the way, I do get paid a little bit for blogging. Mainly just pocket change that helps pay for my website and upkeep. You can find my disclosure here and you can visit any of my sponsor links for great ideas, special sales, and information. My goal is to make it so that it doesn't interfere with my blog.
I'm glad you're here! I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to leave comments on my posts, and I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.
