Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?
I have an unhealthy obsession with all things New England. As a born bred mid-westerner and a true West coaster for the last 15 years I think this may surprise some 🙂
One meal you could eat everyday?
Bolognese with garlic bread finished off with some ice cream.
One vice you wont give up?
Being overly curious – my curiosity has served me so well in life. It’s a real guiding light for me, but it also makes me a total question asker (because I’m genuinely curious!) which I think can sometimes throw people who just meet me.
Late riser or early bird?
Is it weird if I say both? If I had it my way I would get up early every day, but with the kids going to bed I am pretty covetous of my autonomous time in the evenings which keeps me staying up too late to read etc.
Morning routine you swear by?
Sunscreen, Coffee, Reading three pages from The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle to help set my perspective for the day.
One day I hope…
We will see even more moms and women in positions of power and leadership, I’m all about women and I’m working toward making sure I do my part in raising my young sons to help equal the playing field for women as they will help write a new chapter for this next generation of young women they are coming up with.
More the merrier or less is more?
More the Merrier!
Cool brands you love?
I love the brand Roucha – I’m very into unisex-wear and this women-owned company makes THE best pants. I’m obsessed. I also have been loving my Priory pleated pants as a more dressed up every day driver, also woman-owned and truly LOVE these pants. I love my Lunya silk PJ’s to make me feel ultra luxurious (and they are machine washable, I’m all about ease!). Of course I’m all about this new footwear brand, Commbi, too. 😉 We created the shoes with interchangeable footbeds, and they all work across the whole line which expands my footwear collection. Plus, they are ultra comfy and easy for my on-the-go busy mom life. And, of course, I love my Clare V Grande Fanny bag – never leave home without it!
On the horizon: what’s coming soon?
We are prepping for the Fall and Holiday over here, which is a wild time in our world – packaging up lots of Woolie Burros to go out, photographing some fun people, and lots to juggle. Two sons with December birthdays and a family who loves to ski that time of year keeps us on our toes!
