Congrats to Freeport District Library!
Congratulations to Freeport District Library for being the winner of our Paul Collins Art Contest. As part of this year’s Summer Reading Club, libraries across West Michigan were asked to have their children create a piece of art that showcased why they “love where they live.”
At Freeport District Library they had over 60 children come out to paint ceiling tiles with creative designs. As the winning library they will recieve a private art class from Paul Collins as well as a painting that will be dedicated to their library.



I’ve been a part of the WOOD TV8 team since 2005. As Special Projects Producer, I work side by side with Maranda making things happen behind the scenes. I coordinate Maranda’s Park Parties each summer and produce a variety of station broadcasts and events through out the year. I also serve as the producer of Maranda’s weekly half-hour show, Where You Live. I love the variety of my job and getting to be a part of the impact Maranda is making on kids in our community!
Outside of work, I've been married for seven years to my husband John and we have two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Stella. When I'm not busy trying to keep up with the kids, I spend "me time" reading fashion or celebrity magazines, sneaking in some good reality television, walking around Reeds Lake with girlfriends and exploring new restaurants with my hubby.
Inspirations for my blog come from my daily life as a busy working mom -- trying to juggle a full time job and be a full time mom to a spitfire five year old and a new baby.
