Shelly Didway

‘Lucky wife & Mom, friend enthusiast, avid talker, faith-filled, delighted by details, and lover of my life’……This is how I define myself.

Through the blessing of motherhood, my life transformed.  In unexpected ways, through kindness and humility, my faith has grown alongside an inclination to serve. I believe that when the power of a good intention meets opportunity; magic happens. I love those moments!
