Misty Oerther

Hi! I’m Misty. I’m a faith-driven wife, mom, lover of travel (a planner of vacations), and a passionate educator. I want to share all of the things I know and love with you because I believe in making life easier, happier, and way more fun usually with a side of sass. I also believe in being comforted when it isn’t. I know some things about faith, family, travel, and education so if you are seeking a resource from a someone who has tried all the things (with both success and failure)…I’m your girl.
