Family means everything to me. I’m married to my best friend, fellow Brain Byter  Jason Sirotin, and together we created a precious little nugget of a human being, our darling son, Dylan. I live in Georgia but the rest of my family is in New Hampshire, so I make a lot of trips north to enjoy quality time with my family up there.

Being the mom of a toddler, I don’t have a lot of down time, but I do try to make time each day to work out, which keeps me sane. Usually you will find me running down a country road listening to an audio book or podcast on my iPhone with my son in his stroller catching the breeze and eating a graham cracker. My current favorite podcast is Mike and Tom Eat Snacks and it is hilarious. I insist you listen to at least one episode.

I am mildly addicted to reading blogs too. When I find a blog I like I go back in the archives and read every single entry starting with the blogger’s very first post. I find blogs to be deliciously voyeuristic! These days I am deep in the archives of KathEats.com. This particular blogger has taken a picture of every single morsel of food she’s put in her mouth since 2007. I often wonder why I care about what she ate for lunch three years ago, but I do!

Other things I love include outdoor festivals, people-watching, writing speeches in my head and never giving them, yoga pants, oatmeal, coffee, reading, writing and arithmetic (not really on that last one).
