New Music Release: A Love Song… Sort Of – and a Glimpse Into My Heart
After releasing my debut album Big Little Dream in 2021—a collection of songs inspired by my husband, kids, and stories from my college days—I thought I’d earned a little creative rest. But during a show while promoting the album, my husband asked me to write him a love song. Honestly? I was a little annoyed (I had just finished an album!). But because I love him, and because songwriting is my favorite way to speak from the heart, I gave in—with a twist. The result? A fun, sassy, and slightly sarcastic love song written just for him.
The second track on this EP, Crystal Ball, came from those restless nights that often follow sharing something so personal with the world. As much as I adore writing, recording, and performing, it’s not always easy. Music takes me away from my family, and that tug-of-war between passion and parenthood is real. This song is my honest reflection on the vulnerability and the emotional cost that comes with pursuing a dream.
Love Is Enough and Thelma and Louise are singles I released in 2024 - I'm including on this EP to share with you again!!
I’m incredibly grateful to my husband and kids for their endless support, to my amazing bandmates who share their time and talents, and to you—my listeners—for streaming, sharing, and encouraging me along the way. Thank you for letting me tell these stories, and for being part of this journey.

This song was inspired by "love being enough," through the ups and downs of a 20 yr marriage, raising kids/teens, post-covid life, and all the emotions that go into trying to identify how to deal with life challenges but seeing the beauty and love all at the same time. It's a daydreamy and romantic song. Thank you to my husband Mark for letting me share our wedding photos from our San Diego wedding and our Vegas wedding. AND Thank you to my very talented son, Hunter, for making a heart out of ice when we were in the mountains!

Dedicated to my husband, Mark as we celebrate 20 yrs of marriage and to all four of our kids for giving me the gift of motherhood.

She was 2 yrs old in this photo.❤️

My grandparents on my mother's side, started dating and were married during the early 40's, during WWII, while my grandfather was a navy pilot in the war. Inspired by their love letters they wrote while dating long distance during a war, I wrote this song "Love Letters". My grandmother would be 100 years turning 101 on April 27th. This song was written and released this month to celebrate her birthday and their love story. Hope you enjoy!
