Stacy is a wife, mother, and dog-mom who enjoys spending time with family and loves being outside. Stacy and her family moved into a house in the country several years ago, and taking care of the property is one of their favorite things to do together. She is an avid reader and active participant in her church. Her youngest son is currently a senior in high school, so she spends much of her free time visiting colleges and helping him guide his career path.
