When Madeleine was born and I got to stay home I learned that I really like to cook. I love to look for new recipes and test them out on unsuspecting friends. However, if I could make a different batch of chocolate chip cookies everyday I would be in heaven. To combat my baking habits I enjoy working out, mainly Pilates and running. Adam and I try to be pretty healthy most of the time but we are both suckers for chocolate chip cookies, he'll eat all the dough and I like them gooey right out of the oven. I'm lucky to have some great girlfriends here to team up with at the park, or have craft days or play in the little pool or anything else to keep our kids entertained and happy. The summer time makes me happy. I like to feel warm and I like to be outside.
