My Twin Cities connection:
I was born and raised here in the Twin Cities - the only time I haven't lived here was when I moved away for college, but I don't think that really counts! I love the area and I can't think of a better place I'd rather live and raise my children.

My family:
I am the proud mother of five: two girls and three boys. Needless to say, I stay very busy. However, I'd be a lot busier if the boys weren't felines! I would like to have more children, but I'm still negotiating the idea with my better half.

My fun fact:
I was a lifeline for my father-in-law when he was a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? I'd like to think he picked me for my extensive knowledge of pop culture, but I'm guessing it was for my speedy internet connection and savvy "Googling."

My life before baby:
Before joining Babyzone I worked with children, and a lot of Muppets! I was an entertainment promoter and traveled the country alongside the gang from Sesame Street. Prior to that, I worked at the Minnesota Office of Tourism.

My life in the BabyZone:
Parenting has been, and continues to be, my greatest accomplishment…and biggest challenge. Yet even on the worst days, I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything (although, I'd be tempted to swap it for one date with George Clooney).

My hobbies and passions:
My children are my life, but when I do get time away from them, I enjoy eating hot (not luke warm or cold) food on date nights with my husband, making handmade cards, reading real books, perusing celebrity gossip magazines and shopping.
