Her written work has appeared in Forbes Magazine, Mother Earth News, The Kansas City Star, Kiplinger's, and many more. Her latest book, "Living Large in Our Little House" is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books A Million, or Indie Bound. This program should be a treat and the public is always invited.
