My family
My husband Corrado
I met Corrado on my vacation to Italy 9 years ago and we have been inseparable ever since! Being from Italy food and family are very important to him so that is his life outside of being a contractor and owner of Sorrento Painting. He was recently featured on a 3M Scotch blue tape commercial and is prominently displayed on their website for using Scotch Blue tape on his residential painting jobs. The guys at Home Depot were so star struck they wanted photos with him! He is a terrific father and is teaching Chloe guitar through MacPhail's Suzuki music program as well as inspiring her to be a chef one day!

My daughter Chloe
Chloe, my 6 year old has such a generous and giving heart. She wanted to have a lemonade stand and when I told her about a little girl named Alex who raised over $1 million dollars for children with cancer, she wanted to raise money for Children's cancer too! She was a part of Lemonade Days which raises money for Childhood cancer nationally and raised $1200 towards the cause over 2 weekends! We were so proud of her. Channel 5, WCCO and KARE 11 all came to cover her lemonade stand and interview her. She handled herself so well!

June 18th, Chloe won Miss Minnesota Princess 2011!
Chloe competed in the National American Miss pageant and won the 4-6 year old age division, MIss MInnesota Princess! We are heading to Disney land over Thanksgiving to see her compete at a National Level. It is much more stressful watching my daughter compete than competing myself! My heart just about jumped from my chest!
All that worry wasn't necessary because she was so poised on stage and took home trophies for Best resume, Best thank you note, Casual wear Modeling competition winner, Miss Congeniality/Miss Personality, Most Recommendations, 2nd runner up for photogenic and 1st runner up for Most promising model! We were so proud of her and it is so fun to make appearances with her with both of us as titleholders. We'll be doing many parades together over the summer!
