Each Wednesday we will be featuring a member of our writing team. We hope to further grow our community by sharing a bit more about the women that make up Rochester MN Moms Blog!

1)What is your guilty tv pleasure?
Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy
2) How do you take your coffee?
A little cream, a little sugar.
3) If you close your eyes and think about it – where is your favorite place to be?
Somewhere warm and airy; somewhere with a different culture, landscape and a different definition of happy.
4) What is something you never feel bad splurging on?
Travel.
5) Favorite way to start the day?
A cup of coffee and a magazine or the Farmer’s Market.
6) What is the one thing you are working on changing/being better at?
Having more patience for my growing children and more one-on-one time with my husband. In addition to the strength to say “no” to things that pull me in too many directions.
7) What book had a profound impact on you and how old were you when you read it?
“White Like Me” by Tim Wise, which I read when I was about 27. Prior to that I would say “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison and “Moral Politics” by George Lakoff
8) What is your favorite thing about your life?
That I get to help raise two amazing daughters that I know will push the limits on the parameters around what it means to be a woman and one son who is changing the world and bringing out the best advocacy that I’ve got.
