<p>I'm an attorney by education and a court reporter by current employment (love my job!).  A couple of years ago, we had the opportunity to relocate to my home state of Louisiana, and I am happy happy happy to be here!  I've been cooking since I was old enough to see the top of the stove - my mother was a home economics teacher, and she believed in starting me off early. I work full-time, I'm a Scentsy consultant, and I dream of getting my little bath goodie business up and running.</p>
