Chasing Dreams
We're a family of five (plus two German shepherds and a whole flock of chickens) living in a fixer-upper. My husband is leaving shift work behind so we can build our family business, Elite Yard Scoopers, together.
Along the way, we turned part of our journey into Red Juniper Retreat — a 5-star Airbnb that's become one of the most loved homes on the platform. This blog is where I share all of it: the wins, the fails, and everything in between.
