I was born in Albania came to America when I was three years old! I lived in the Bronx, NY until I moved to Virginia in 2012. I’m a NY Knicks and Yankees fan at heart! (I know, I know). I love listening to anything related to ‘90s R&B, Reggae and Pop and Podcasts.
I am married and a mom to 3 wonderful children who keep me busy, young and carefree! I pray my way through everything. I love photography and having tons of pictures taken for any and everything. I love summertime and traveling- keeping my toes in the sand and being near water. I use this time to dress up and go out to dinner, concerts, brunches, or simply just spend time outdoors with family and friends.
I absolutely LOVE celebrations, along with the planning and decorating that comes with them! If I could have a celebration for every birthday, season, or event, I would! My favorite celebration would be Christmas- the thoughtfulness of one another, the feeling of togetherness, the lights, the planning, the decorations, the tree, the traditions- I love it all! I also take the opportunity to decorate my house in anything Grinch during theseason and just binge watch The Grinch!
I enjoy watching TV series, including The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, and The Upshaw’s and anything related to Princess Diana!
