Welcome to Mrs. Donaldson's Homepage

God blessed my husband Sam and me with four children.
After being a stay-at-home mom, I returned to college and graduated from Millersville University in December 2009.
I enjoy visiting historic places and spending time with family.
My family and I are Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Go Black and Gold!
