If you were to make a mixed tape, what would you put on it?

As a kid I hated broccoli. Now I try and cook it several different ways and always toss some into a salad.

Sight! As a mother I would want to see my kids faces when they are happy, or sad and to be able to actually see them walk down the aisle one day.

What do you want people to know right now?

With everything going on with the Coronavirus and being on lockdown. I feel everyone should relax and enjoy the slower pace of things. Pick up that book you wanted to read when you had time. Play games with your kids. Work on projects in your home. Maybe we all needed this time to just sit back and reflect on what’s important.
