WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
In my free time, I like to be with my two kids, Braxton (8) and Zinnia (5). We like to play games, go on bike rides, and have dance parties. I also enjoy cooking delicious meals, watching movies or binge-watching shows, and sometimes getting to play on the Nintendo Switch when my son isn't playing Fortnite.
