What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day? Honestly, I'm polar opposite at times. It's either watching a television show and not paying attention to it haha or going for a run. Just depends on energy levels and what my stress feels like.

What’s a small joy that never fails to make you smile? Coffee. Interactions with friends or family even through just a text.

What’s your go-to comfort show, podcast, or book? Comfort show would have to be either Gilmore Girls or Law and Order SVU. Drastically different, I know.

What’s a parenting mantra or quote you love? "My children are not having an emotional outburst against me. They are having feelings regarding their own like or dislike of what is happening just as much as I am right now." "It's okay to change your mind as a parent. If we make a rule and find out it doesn't serve the family well later on, have a conversation why with your kiddo and let them know how it's changing."

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you? I've tried to convince myself for most of my life that I'm a morning person and recently accepted that I am in fact a night owl, and its changed my life for the better.

Coffee order, tea ritual, or favorite snack? Coffee is my go to mostly. Or Diet coke from McDonalds!

If you had a whole afternoon to yourself, how would you spend it? Lately, for a run to help stabilize anything the day through at me, and then a shower by myself without the kids haha.
