1. What is one thing you wish people would understand about you?  I don’t write a Montessori parenting blog because I think I know everything about Montessori parenting.  I’m figuring it out as I go, just like all parents.
2. You can only eat one dessert for the rest of your life, what is it?  Chocolate cake.
3. The world needs less ____ and more what? Less hate and more babies.
4. What made you want to start blogging?  I missed interacting with others about being Montessori at home after I quit my teaching job.
5. If you could be great at one thing you’re bad at, what would it be?  Haha, sooooo many things!  At the moment… having patience with my kids.
6. Do you have any children? Fur babies count, too!  I have two daughters (Lila and Nora) and one dog (Jeffrey).
7. How does blogging affect your everyday life?  Blogging gives me a connection to the world outside my home!  There are many days when we don’t make it out of the house/yard at all, and it’s nice to have somewhere to interact with other adults during the day!
8. If someone handed you a $100 bill to keep, what would be your first purchase?  Clothes.  I can’t even remember the last time I bought new clothes for myself.  Kid clothes always win.
9. Who inspires you the most?  My parents.  They gave me a pretty great childhood, and they have always supported me in everything I do.  I hope I can be as amazing as they were in parenting my own daughters.
10. What television show (current or past) would you love to make a guest appearance on?  Friends!  Hands down.
