About my kids: 
They are pretty awesome little beings. My boy is smart, sarcastic and an excellent storyteller. My little girl is a real firecracker. Her infectious joy and unstoppable nature can talk you into just about anything.
Parenting is...: 
tough. No rewarding. No tiring. No inspiring. Ok, can't wrap my head around exactly what it is, but I know it's worth it.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 
In my spare time I do a ton of volunteer work to help create a better future for kids with intellectual disabilities like my daughter. In the tiny sliver of time that's left I like to take pictures and cook delicious things.
When are you at your yummiest?: 
hmmm, def when I'm standing by the ocean in a storm.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?: 
She believed she could, so she did.
What's currently in your purse?: 
Just about everything I would need to win all the things on Let's Make a Deal. Except a kitchen sink.
What superhero power would you like to have?: 
Making people understand why everyone matters.
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?: 
In the room, of course.
