Here's some (okay probably too much) info about me. I'm an open book, and I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

I'm a writer living in a house in the Chicago suburbs with my husband, our toddler, and our dog.

I'm an improv performer. I perform in a house team at my local theater, Westside Improv.

I'm a Disney fanatic (I'm a Walt Disney World annual passholder, even though I live in Chicago). I love anything Disney and Disney-adjacent (Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, etc). Big fan of Chip and Dale, Cheshire Cat, and Mickey Mouse, Haunted Mansion, Carousel of Progress, and anything Disney Parks.

I love shopping local, small, and secondhand. My favorite colors are pink and teal.

I love holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas. When I decorate my house, I go all out. We usually host big parties for each, and I just love spending time with family and friends all year long.

I love crafting. I'm big into paper crafts (card-making, junk journaling, decorating vintage Bingo cards), but I also love making wreaths, playing with paint, and occasional jewelrymaking.

I'm a voracious reader: I love fantasy, fairy tales, women's fiction, rom coms, non-fiction, and thrillers. Recent books I've loved include The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Darling Girl, Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Verity, and Broken by Jenny Lawson.

I love to cook, but I'm a terrible baker. I much prefer coming up with measurement-free creative meals and appetizers than following recipes to a tee. I love trying new and interesting spices, seasonings, oils, and other condiments, especially if they're specific to your home state/town.

A few things to avoid: My husband has asked that you don't send anything with glitter. I try to stay away from food and beverages with high fructose corn syrup and seed oils. I don't wear earrings. We also don't have a DVD player (we stream everything), so movies are unnecessary.
