About me

Gender Female
Location Utah, United States
Introduction Hmm. Me in a nutshell? I'm an at-home (in theory) mom of three kids aged 9, 11, and 13, a wife of 16 years, a parent advocate for autism, a celebrator of adoption, a sister, a daughter, a friend, and a neighbor. I tend to be a worrier, but I really want to be one of those people who is able to relax and go with the flow, so I strive (one of my favorite words!) to do just that. In contrast to the worrying part of me, I consider myself an optimist and I love a good plan! Basically, I'm a woman trying to wear the different hats in my life in a happy and balanced way while not losing sight of who I am and what is truly important. Whew.

Why do we always have to say what our favorites are? Can't I just like a bunch of stuff the same?
