The Fun Stuff!
I am a mom of two and happily married to PQ. I enjoy writing about my daily life, sharing my goals and hobbies, and recommending products and books I love.
Three things I do daily: Kiss my husband, drink a cup of coffee, and text my mom.
I am the oldest of four children and grew up in the Cougar country of Pullman, Washington. You may recognize Pullman as the home of the National Lentil Festival (or more likely as the home of Washington State University).
I graduated from Gonzaga University in 2011 where I played Division I soccer for five years. Post-college employment took me to Madison, WI for 2.5 years. The cheese was abundant and the beer was delicious! I miss the Midwest but married a proud Iowan.
Traveling is my favorite past time. You’ll often find me planning a trip to another national park or embarking on an adventure through Europe. I love visiting my sister in Portland or going home to golf with my parents. My favorite place in the world is Switzerland!
My hobby is reading and reviewing sports books. If that’s your jam, check out @thesportslibrarian, and if you want to collaborate, let me know!
