So this is me: I'm a music teacher, the best job on the planet! I get to make music with my school children all day. How cool is that?!? When not at school, I can most often be found playing family with my daughter, or playing Star Wars with my son - sometimes both at the same time. I love to cook, and bake, and can say pretty much all the words to classic rock songs. And the words to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. (and the Blues Brothers.) My family is from the Chicago area, which I guess is where I got my love of movies set in Chicago! I just started singing in Swedish Glee Choir, which has been a fun way to sing with others, and link to my Swedish heritage. I am a co-organizer of Lakemoor Scholarship Fund, a non-profit organization that gives scholarships for higher education to Lakemoor residents who graduate high school. I also serve as the secretary for the D15 teacher's union, MEEA. We have three cats in our family and host a bearded dragon (Wolfgang) from school over breaks.
My best friend
Mr. Cummings and I met while in college. His sister and I were roommates. We have spent many years together, traveling and having adventures. Our major travels are on hold now, as our best adventure yet has begun - becoming parents!
Ezra
One of my favorite parts of being a parent is getting to dress up my children for Halloween.
Stella
Our sweet baby girl is four! She likes to play dress-up and pretends to be a princess, or a mommy to her 24million babies. She is sweet but sassy.
