Bio

My headline
It's a Family Affair
Me in a nutshell

I’ll just be honest – I am an organizational maniac. I would be lost without my day planner, color-coded for the array of activities and obligations I get myself and my family into. Does it drive my husband and two young daughters crazy? Of course, but last time I tried to do without it, Katie ended up at Michelle’s ballet practice with her soccer bag, and it took three months for them to let it go (and don’t you know they still bring it up to torture me every once in awhile). I guess you could say we’re a pretty typical suburban family – soccer tournaments and dance recitals fill our weekends, and my job becomes less and less about my part-time PR consulting and more and more about chauffeuring the girls around. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Fortunately, Mike’s job usually gives him plenty of time at night and on the weekends to hang out with the girls (except during tax season, of course). Saturday nights are just for the two of us, though – dinner and a movie in the city. We also love to travel and look forward to school breaks, where I give Mike his only chance to be the family organizer. We like theme parks and the beach, but we also can’t wait to introduce our girls to big cities with great museums and a little bit of culture.

Things I like

Spending time together, movie nights, sporting events, barbecues, vacations
