About Me

Meno Reiner: I am a wife, mother, and credentialed teacher. I am currently staying at home with my 2 children, Jonah and Ayla. Jonah is smart and silly, at times too sharp for his own good, and keeps me smiling in hard times. Ayla is a ray of sunshine when she's healthy. At 6 months of age, Ayla became very ill and was ultimately diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. We believe she has not yet been in remission since initially becoming ill, however, she has had many amazing stretches of good health. We believe her personality to be unrivaled. She's truly remarkable and she fights like an alligator!
