In Laura’s Own Words
Thank you for visiting my site, Panama City Beach and South Walton County! I am blessed to call the sparkling emerald beaches and breathtaking sunsets of the Gulf Coast “home” and hope you enjoy your time here as much as I love living here. I was never a “beach girl” until we moved to PCB (after growing up in a beach town on the east coast of FL for 20 years!)
I am a Momma to 4 beautiful children and a Lala (grandma) to TWO busy babies! Our oldest daughter is married to the best son-in-law we could have asked for and we have 3 younger boys still at home. I am married to my best friend and my biggest cheerleader. Without him, this dream of mine would not be possible. Like really! I know everyone says that, but he really is the other half to my craziness!
A little about me?
I homeschool our kids, I love my coffee in the morning and I am in the thick of raising 3 wild boys who love to fish, wrestle, play basketball and just be outdoors! I spend my days making pasta in the kitchen, playing some type of sport with my boys and begging them to snuggle just a little bit longer.
If I get a day off, you can bet I’m still at the beach watching the sunset, or quite honestly, sitting at the basketball courts cheering from the bleachers.
Being in front of the camera can be intimidating- I get it! But I guarantee you will enjoy our time together and you won’t feel as though you are working with a stranger, we will be more like friends and family! I will snuggle your babies, make farting noises to make them laugh, chase birds and tell your husband he owes you a bottle of wine and a backrub afterwards!
