Samara M
Hey there, I'm Samara. I'm a wife and proud #girlmom to Charlotte (8) and Freya (1). We live in Englewood, just northwest of Dayton and love the small town feel while still be close to downtown. When I'm not busy with all things #momlife I enjoy reading, writing, crafting and much more. We love being out and about in the Dayton area, so if you ever see me out say "hi!" and strike up a converstation.
