About
Hi! I’m Kaitlin, currently playing the role of dog mom to a 6-year-old Boxador who can agree there’s nothing like sitting in the sun on a nice day. I’ve been writing for most of my life and have always enjoyed telling stories and sharing highlights. Now I spend my time exploring all the exciting local hotspots Western New York has to offer and love taking people along for the ride. There’s nothing a good book or fun pair of sunglasses can’t fix — feel free to drop us a line!
