My work: My husband and I both work in the Lansing Area.
Favorite song in high school: 90s rock!
We are both born and raised Michiganders. My husband (MSU alum) and I (WMU alum) have lived and work in the Lansing Area for the past 20+years. We have lived in the Lake Lansing community since 2016. We love and appreciate and enjoy all the seasons and what they offer. We do our best to protect the lake and pollinators. The cottage has some unique features such as rain water cleaning garden, pollinator garden, mosquito reduction plantings, clover yard (resistant to dog urine). The cottage has been designated as a Monarch preserve.
