Christina Sheppard McGuire
A self-affirmed “chowderhead” with a western soul, Christina shares her Teton home with a husband, two children, dog, cat, and seven chickens. She believes that traditions shape people and strives to balance life’s craziness with moments of slow living. When she’s not writing and editing for the latest edition of Teton Family Magazine, you’ll find her surrounded by children in the Tetonia Elementary garden.
