I'm pretty easy going. I like to laugh...both at myself and at life in general. I enjoy my job and am good at it, but try not to take myself too seriously. I do take raising my kids seriously. I want to make sure they are kind and interesting people...so far so good. They have also taught me to make sure I am always keeping my eyes on the big picture...and letting go of what I can't control. I enjoy being with my kids, my friends...my family is not local, but I do love that my sister and I can always pick up right where we left off. I try to do a little good everyday...and have spent the last couple of years working with the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society as my charity of choice.

I'm raising some pretty great kids...working as a teacher...spending time with friends. I have also recently returned to running and have been doing some endurance events. I just finished the Nike Women's Half...

Listening...making people laugh. I'm also a pretty good teacher. I love my job, so that makes it easy. The best part of my job is getting kids to become passionate/powerful readers and writers. I also make an excellent bowl of cereal.

Not sure...you'd have to ask them.

Harry Potter. I know...whatever, I can't help it...but when was the last time you saw kids lining up around the block for a book? It's pretty cool, if you ask me.
I also really loved Tina Fey's memoir Bossy Pants (read it twice), and read a lot of Michael Lewis...so my taste is pretty varied. I also read a lot of children's authors for work...
Favorite shows...Modern Family...
Music...all kinds...depends on what I'm doing...running, cooking, driving in the car.
Food...all good, especially sushi

My kids
My sister
My friends
Music
Books
My running shoes

everything...

With my kids or my friends...

gum freaks me out.
