Her passion for the holidays and her family comes from difficult past experience when she went through cancer treatment in 2017. "I was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and went through chemo and radiation," she said.
"Thankfully, I’m cancer-free [now], but going through that made me do even more for the holidays. It really just gives you a new perspective on life and I want to make every single holiday memorable and special for my kids."

Outside, guests are greeted by a scary path lit up by neon lights, an even bigger creepy crawler attached above the front door, more pumpkins and skeletons, and a sign that reads ‘Dead and Breakfast: Vacancy'.
