LADY BUG LAUGHS
Where hope meets humor
and hearts find home.
Step inside Ladybug Cottage… where every story feels like coming home.
Pull up a chair. We have tea,
chai, and yes….
probably a bottle of rosé chilling somewhere.
you don’t have to carry it alone.
Hi friend, I’m Cheryl 🐞
Mother of eight. Survivor of plot twists. Collector of second chances.
I’ve spent many years discovering that life rarely follows the plan. Mine certainly hasn’t. But somewhere between raising eight kids, starting over, and finding my footing again, I learned that some of the best parts of life show up in the chapters we never saw coming.
I believe in laughter, grace, second chances, and finding something worth celebrating right in the middle of real life.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
