Welcome, Everyone! My name is Corey Moore. I love my most important job roll as a wife and mother of two. I’m a southern, christian woman from North Carolina. I’m an entrepreneur and owner of two businesses. My passion is pageantry, and I am the co-executive director of Miss Morganton, Caldwell County, Catawba Valley, and Carolina Foothills. I consider myself a philanthropist and enjoy volunteering. I spend my Sundays as a childrens ministry leader, and lead the nursery team at church. I consider myself a foodie, and I love traveling to new places. I hope you will enjoy this blog and become inspired!
