About me

Industry Education
Location United States
Introduction I'm a 30-something woman who lives in the DC area with her husband Steve and two beautiful daughters - Caroline, a fiesty about-to-be-four-year-old, and Molly, our eighteen-month-old baby. We learn from our girls and they learn from us every day, as we're in a bit of a unique position - I am a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair to get around. We've had to think pretty creatively throughout the whole process of becoming first-time parents and deciding to add a second baby to the mix, so you may see us passing some of this along from time to time in this blog. Mainly though, I hope this is a place where I can share our day-to-day experiences and ideas with others (and maybe get a few from the masses), share news and other tips, as well as update our friends and family on our adventures! Cheers...
Interests family, friends, parenting, the beach, Spring and Summer and sometimes Fall (but rarely Winter), hydrangeas, restaurants, cocktails, really good wine, "The Daily Show", preppy, pink, green, handbags, disabilities, stationery
Favorite Movies If you were to ask my husband what I make him watch whenever it's on, this is what he'd say: "The Goonies", "What About Bob?", "Clueless", "As Good As It Gets", "Something's Gotta Give" (I want that house), "50 First Dates", "Best In Show", and "Napoleon Dynamite". I pretty much watch anything that makes me laugh. Oh, and I'm a little bit of a closet Lifetime-made-for-tv-movie freak and will call my sister Lulu whenever something fabulous is on because she is almost definitely watching it, as well.
Favorite Music I listen to a bit of everything these days.
Favorite Books "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "My Sister's Keeper" are probably my favorite books (although anything by Judy Blume was pretty fabulous in my childhood), but I have to be honest: I am more of a magazine kind of girl. I know, kind of fluffy. I do like to read, but prefer the condensed kind that you find in magazines and stuff - my favorites these days include "Us Weekly" (another one of my "news sources"), "Coastal Living", "Parents", "Cookie", and "Real Simple"
