I'm known for my quick smile, positive attitude, and loud laughter. A few of my favorite things (did you just sing that?) are warm sunshine, a pint of ice cream with a spoon, all things Disney, a great workout, random acts of kindness, and loud music in the car. Did I mention coffee? Or is that understood? Where else can you find me? Instagram: @sharingthestairs and @shopwordsunshine Facebook: Word Sunshine wordsunshine.com
