Brooke
Hi, my name is Brooke and I am a newly appointed Domestic Engineer (aka stay at home mom). I lived in Florida for 20 years before moving to Flagstaff, Arizona, to work in marketing as a graphic designer for a medical company. While working, I fell in love, got married and am now mom to Josie (3) and Isla (1). I enjoy finding great deals that I can pass on to friends, spending time with family and friends, and all things coffee and Lululemon.
