About Me

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Tonya! I was raised on a goat farm in Australia and now live in a small town in Kentucky with my family. I’m a mum to ‘adult children’ and a Head Start teacher. When I’m not here, you’ll find me scouring antique stores, restoring our historic house, or road-tripping in our 1972 Jeep.
