I love paper office supplies. Like seriously love them. It’s hard to beat opening a new notebook for the first time and feeling those crisp pages.

I’m a die hard DIY fan. Pinterest and I have a love/hate relationship.

Hoarding is in my genes. For real. It’s a problem. But I only stock up on useful things, like paper office supplies. And crafting items. And photography props.

After having my second son, I developed a love of coffee. I’m not sure if it’s the actual coffee taste or just the caffeine that make it so wonderful.

I’m a girly tomboy.

Chicago’s Pizza in my home town is hands down my favorite pizza. I craved it like crazy with both pregnancies and begged my mom to mail me some. Never got that package though.

I watch way too much Law and Order, A&E, and murder solving shows. So, I’m constantly playing scenarios through my mind about how I would protect myself and my kids if someone were to break into my house, etc.

To do lists are AMAZING. I crave them. I write down every little thing I need to do in my day just so that I can have the satisfaction of marking them off when they’re done. Some days that line through feeding the dogs is all that stands between a successful day and utter chaos.

I planned to be a marine biologist since I was in third grade.
