I am a Michigan native, but have lived in North Carolina, Washington DC, Maryland, and Chicago, IL. I love being active, listening to live music, eating chocolate, reading, and spending time with my family and friends. I love running even though my knees don’t. I’m attempting to embrace Michigan winter by learning to ski, although this is harder than it looks! My husband and I have three young children, a cat, a dog, and briefly, a turtle named Jeremy. Life is busy, messy, and joyful.
