And now for the serious stuff…

• I run a lot, and very slowly. Okay… I speed walk a lot.

• I can’t stand losing at Pictionary. Can’t. Stand. It.

• I could survive off sushi, mint chocolate chip ice cream and avocados. And yeah, sure, give it to me all at once.

• I went to an event (inside!) the White House hosted by Michelle Obama to promote her Let’s Move! campaign, and I will never stop bragging about it.

• I take pictures of my baby sleeping. And I will never stop referring to him as my baby.​​

• When New World Library confirmed my book deal I got so excited I peed a little. I had a vaginal birth…
