“Do small things with great love - Mother Teresa. “
I am so lucky to be able to call myself a busy wife and mom. I am truly blessed to have a loving husband, 2 healthy and active children, a supportive family, and a pillow to rest my head on each night. 
The Shoebox Project has inspired me to give back, and to set an example for my children, by engaging my local community to join me in performing small acts of kindness and comfort for women the Rhode Island area who are facing difficult challenges every day.
