Hobbies:

I enjoy spending time with my family, enjoying a good meal with loved ones, taking my dogs to the dog park, hiking and traveling.

Advice for expecting parents:

Try not to sweat the small stuff.  A newborn will not need all the things on the registry or a closet full of new clothes.  The essentials are pretty much limited to a safe place to sleep, food, diapers and a loving family.

Advice for new parents:

Parenting can be equally challenging and rewarding.  Parents should remember to give themselves grace and not be afraid to reach out for help.

Advice for parents of teenagers:

Listening is underrated and can make all the difference.  Also give clear guidance but allow your teen the opportunity for independence (within reason).
