Hi, I’m Dianne! I live in Minneapolis with my husband, our two daughters, and our lovable retriever, Sunny. Growing up in a large, tight-knit Italian family, I learned early on that life's best moments are meant to be celebrated and cherished. I absolutely love entertaining, cooking, and baking, and nothing brings me more joy than sharing delicious meals and treats with family and friends. 

As the mom of a college student living out of state, I know firsthand how important it is to stay connected and make loved ones feel special. I’m excited to help families create meaningful moments with their college students, no matter the distance.
