Background
Heather lives in Atlanta with her husband and two kids (tween and teen). She serves as a Girl Scouts troop leader and school room parent. On the weekends you can find her running around Georgia (and sometimes other states) on soccer mom duty. In her free time Heather enjoys kayaking and rock climbing. Just kidding. During the 30 minutes of free time she has each week, Heather enjoys watching Hallmark Christmas movies under a blanket and playing Block Blast on her phone.
