Every year, about a month before Christmas, I get a text or email, usually from my cousin (bless her for thinking ahead!) that says we have to start getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner. My mom hosts. She is Italian, and she loves to have the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. So…

Do you think you can be both? It’s like saying you love the beach and the mountains, which also describes me to a tee. My favorite animals are cats and dogs. I love cats because of their personalities. They are soft. The ones that I’ve had over the years love sitting on you or next…

What is your mission Over the years, like many people, my mission has changed. When I was young, I wanted to get a good job, make money, have fun. Then life took a different turn. I had kids.
