About Me:

Elle [is for Lemon]

I am passionate about photography, home decor, road trips, history, budgeting, my peeps, and sweet tea.

I am a 40-year old mom, married to my best friend for 22 years. We live on a county island, just outside of Phoenix, AZ.

My URL is from an account I had in 2008, Debt Dummy on a Mission. This is me, starting fresh!
