Breast Cancer Awareness just hits a little different for me. 🎀

I’ve watched my mother-in-law, my aunts, and some of my closest friends fight this awful disease. When it affects the women you love, the pink ribbon becomes so much more than just a ribbon.

I’ve seen the hard days, the scary days, the tears, and the fight. But I’ve also seen just how incredibly strong these women are.

So when you see me wearing pink, just know there are some pretty special women behind it. 💗

I wear it for them. Always. 🎀

Such a busy weekend!!

I spent Saturday watching the 2025 Pretzel Fest Queen crown the 2026 Queen.

Sunday, I attended the luncheon for the pretzel Queen and I got to see some of my favorite Queens.

Lastly, it was Parents weekend at University of Dayton so I spent a few hours with my favorite girl.

Happy National Daughter Day to my Princess.

Had the opportunity to be in the at Home Kettering Ohio Parade celebrating Labor Day. The theme this year was 250 years celebrating our Nations independence. I had the opportunity to meet Miss Black Ohio America 2026 Logan Pride along with the West Carrollton Pirettes and hang out with Miss Pr***en Ohio Emma

Special thanks to my brother for driving us!

👑❤️ International Day of Charity ❤️👑

Wearing a crown is an honor, but what matters most to me is what I choose to do while I have the opportunity to wear it.

Today, on International Day of Charity, I’m reminded of the reason behind my platform, From Rosemary with Love. 🌹

My grandma Rosemary taught me that giving isn’t about how much you have—it’s about how much heart you’re willing to give. She cared for me, loved me, and made sure I had what I needed during times in my life when I needed her most. Her example helped shape the woman I am today.

Now, as Ms. Ohio Woman, I have the privilege of carrying those lessons beyond my own family and into my community.

Through From Rosemary with Love, my goal is simple: to help meet everyday needs, support local families, and remind people that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

A title gives you a platform.
A crown gives you visibility.
But service gives it purpose. 👑❤️

As I continue this journey, I hope to be remembered not simply for the crown I wore, but for the lives I touched while wearing it. Every opportunity to serve is an opportunity to carry my grandmother’s legacy forward—and that will always be the greatest title I could hold. 🌹

With love, service & a little sparkle, ✨

I would love to judge a beard contest! The more outlandish the better!

Happy World Beard Day!

If you know anyone interested please reach out to Kristie or Elena

Well… apparently being Ms. Ohio Woman wasn’t enough excitement for me, so I decided to throw an emergency appendectomy into the mix. 👑😂

Definitely NOT an appearance I had scheduled on my calendar!

Thankfully, surgery went well and I’m doing much better. ❤️‍🩹 For now, this queen has traded the crown and heels for comfy clothes, pain meds, and some much-needed couch time. 😂

I’m resting, healing, and already looking forward to getting back out there soon!

Thank you so much for all the prayers, messages, and love. ❤️

Turns out you really CAN do anything in a crown… except keep your appendix. 😂👑

I couldn’t take my crown in with me to the OR so here’s an AI version 🫣🫣 made by my friend Christi 🫶
