At the Postable party! No joke – I overheard a really hilarious story about a speedo and I couldn’t stop laughing.
17. How would you spend your dream Saturday?
Outdoors with friends + family playing games and having a great time. Beach or backyard – either’s great!
18. If you weren’t allowed to work for 12 months, what would you do?
I’d spend a lot of time with my kids. We’d explore outside and read so many books at the libraries near us. I’d also want to do a lot of traveling!

I love Massachusetts. I’m living exactly where I want to be.
