I like working out, but specifically, teaching Pilates. I sometimes do trivia during planks and the winner gets less push-ups; am I the best teacher ever? Thought so.

I adore chocolate, especially Nutella. I first found about it while in Paris and packed my suitcase full only to discover when I came back that America has it too!!

I love a good book. (You can find me here.) I have a vast variety of reading styles, but two of my favorites books are A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and The Diary of Anne Frank.

I am kind of a runner, but I only like running outside (treadmills are so last year). My newest outdoor crazes are bicycling and playing tennis with my husband.

I love The Ohio State Buckeyes football team. They make my heart flutter. I am known to cry at merely the sight of them running onto the field.

I play piano and sing. I write songs too when I am in the mood. I was in a band for a few years and often made coffee cake for practice. It gets the creative juices flowing. My favorite artists are Norah Jones, Michael Buble, KT Tunstall, Ingrid Michaelson, and A Fine Frenzy.

I like watching movies. Chick-flicks are my favorite. I'm a sucker for classics like Little Women, The Sound of Music, and Annie, as well as any based-on-a-true-story football movies (Remember the Titans, The Blind Side, We Are Marshall).

My favorite holiday is Christmas. The twinkling lights, the romance, the festive spirits...I just drink it all in like it's fine wine. My favorite season is fall. The Midwest really does fall right!
