*Mama * Editor * Lover of Coffee * Hello and welcome to my author page! I am the Digital Managing Editor for the Evansville and Owensboro markets. I have been in media in the area since 2004 and I love digging out the gems of life for you to enjoy! Every day is truly a new adventure in this job. And I mean that literally. We've gone ziplining, fed grisly bears, and even tried out parkour, all for your amusement. As the editor, it's my job to coach our talent but I also have a love for writing. It's always fun to share my parenting wins and funny failures, healthy lifestyle hacks, local topics, and most recently - outdoor adventures. My family and I have taken up camping - and when I say "camping," I actually mean "glamping." We have had the best time exploring all of the best camp spots around the region and letting the kids feel the unbridled joy that only the outdoors can provide. My daughter and I also share a passion for horses. I grew up in the saddle and nothing makes my heart happier than seeing her develop as an equestrian. As the editor of this page, I'm always up for a good pun, a discussion about the proper use of an apostrophe, or share a laugh over a grammar police joke. I'm also happy to take your feedback, questions, or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon!

This past weekend, my family and I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days in a cabin at Rough River Dam State Resort Park. I didn't really know what to expect.
While I was there, I chronicled some of our adventures. My four-year-old daughter and I try to frame our time outside of the home into adventures. Just sounds a little more fun, huh? I also wanted to give you a rundown of what we lea

Jericho Woods Performs “Monday Morning Cigarette” Live in the WBKR Studio [VIDEO]
Josh left his full-time teaching career to focus on his newest band: Breckenridge County boys, Jericho Woods. Their soulful southern country sound is the equivalent of a cool, smooth lowball of bourbon on a steamy summer night in the Bluegrass State. And the world is taking notice of Kentucky's favorite band. Their new single "Better Now" is available on iTunes and Spotify and is even in rotation on country radio.

Family Christian Stores to Close All Locations
When I was in high school, my parents told me I had to get a job. I was fine with it for the most part. I'd have my own money and something to keep me busier and out of the house. Teenagers seem to hate being at home. So, I applied for a job at the Owensboro Family Christian Store and a nice gal named Mindy hired me...
