Life as a working mom is full of challenges, most of which I wouldn't change for the world. But sometimes I'd like more time for myself. I exercise when I can. I've had some setbacks when it comes to running, and I fear I will never get back to where I was pre-pregnancy. But I'm definitely stronger in a lot of ways thanks to yoga, and of course to playing with my big, active toddler. I also try to eat healthy (although I do have a sweet tooth), and have made a concerted effort to cook and eat more vegetables so I can set a good example for my family.

I'm a 32 year old higher education professional. I came to MI for college and I never left (I guess I'm a midwesterner at heart). I've been married since 2005 to my awesome husband. We got our first "baby," a rescue basset hound named Cooper, in April 2010. In April 2011, we had our first baby, Graham Douglas.

things I love: movies, TV, music, reading, relaxing, laughing, sewing, cooking, road trips and of course, exercising things I love even more: my son, my husband, my family, my friends
