About Aurora
I'm a stay at home Mom living in Chesapeake VA. I have 3 great kids- Megan (5), Logan (6) and Steve (hubby).
I also have 2 wonderful dogs- Ziggy, a 6 yr old black mutt and Marley, a 2 yr old basset; 2 fun cats- Nova, a 2 yr old 18 lb Maine Coone mix, and Ramses, a 2 yr old one-eyed MC mix.
We've been living in our house since Jan of 2001. It came with nothing but "grass" privets, honeysuckle, and trumpet creeper. Been slowly adding new beds and borders over the years.
I love to play in the dirt, and have loads of big plans for our yard.
