About

Thank you so much for visiting my page – the home of The Sparks Notes Blog. I love to encourage other women and I hope you can find some encouragement here.

I am a wife to Chuck – a People Operations Lead for Walmart, a mom, step-mom and grandmother (I’m still trying to adjust to that title).

I am a twin. I actually have two amazing sisters and awesome parents, who have always encouraged my creativity. I am so grateful for their love and support.

I am Texas born and raised and a proud graduate of Baylor University. If I’m honest, I’m much prouder now than when I attended. Absence makes the heart grow fonder – or maybe it’s decent sports teams.

I am a special needs mom. I have two beautiful daughters – Shelby and Allie – and Shelby has Dravet syndrome. She suffers from seizures and severe developmental delay.

I am a friend and strive to be a better one. I hope that learning a little bit about me will convince you to be my reader friend and visit me here often.

I teach group fitness and yoga. I enjoy working out and helping others be fit for their purpose.

Most importantly, I am a flawed believer in Jesus Christ, constantly striving to know better and do better. My biggest hope for this site is that you might see Jesus here.
