Who I am: God, who knows, right? But there’s some check boxes I usually tick off on my taxes so, here goes: Woman-CHECK. Mother-CHECK. Scientist-CHECK.

What I do:  I write. I read. I cook from scratch. I crusade to keep my trash in one single bin.

What my husband says I do: “Too much.”

What I don’t do: Coffee. I just…can’t. Despite having 4 boys and a full-time job and more laundry to wash than an overcrowded prison, adding caffeine to my body is like putting the Energizer Bunny on a diet of Pixie Stix and Mountain Dew.
