GHA Tradition: Buddies Time
Neighborhood Spot: I live in Tacoma, so Wooden City, Red Elm Cafe, and King’s Books are some of my favorite places.
Outdoor Activity: Neighborhood walks with my newborn daughter, especially in the Fall.
Place to Read: In bed, right before bed, when the house is calm and quiet.
Childhood Memory: Dancing around the house with my older sister to Madonna’s Immaculate Collection album on Christmas Day before all our extended family arrived. I must have been around 10 years old.
