    “The most important thing I learned about parenting is to be of a unified front with my spouse. We have to be in agreement about our approach to our kids. I also think that by about age 12 we're really done parenting. We still have to be an authority and provide bumpers/guides, but in essence our kids are who they will be. So much of parenting is leading by example. There's only so much kids hear from us... but they observe and witness EVERYTHING we do.”

    “I am the mom of 3 fantastic men… my fondest memories are made up of priceless moments. When they were babies and toddlers we went on adventures to the zoo, museums and family gatherings. My mom and dad usually accompanied me to help keep them safe in public arenas. As they entered school we spent our summers in the North Woods of Wisconsin where I worked as a camp nurse. It was fun to hike, swim, kayak or star gaze at night."
