Three things people may not know about me:

• I grew up on a farm 45 minutes away from the nearest McDonald’s (but have never driven a tractor!).
• I have a 3-year-old daughter, 1½-year-old son and another son on the way.
• I love trying new food and running in my spare time — one necessitates the other!
