Read MoreI’ve been thinking a lot about life and the things that motivate me to do what I do.
So much of my motivation is centered around providing an environment for my children that is safe, loving, and creates a space to learn and grow.

This goal takes a high priority over everything else - school, creative time, and playing. We provide the boys with tons of opportunities to enjoy playing, exploring, and spending time together.
