Tell us more about your site, you, and your family.

I am a mother of three who left a lucrative corporate career to spend more time with my kids and blog about the things that I love; Family, food, travel and local eateries. It has been four months and so far no regrets.  I love finding new food adventures all over town.

What is your favorite park, restaurant, or craft store in the Valley?

I love the Scottsdale Railroad Park, I have been going there since I was a little kid and it is wonderful to still be able to take my children and their cousins there.

 

What is your favorite vacation spot in Arizona?

This is a tough one!! I love anywhere in Northern or Eastern AZ when it gets hot, and I love Southern AZ in the spring, we like to take a wild flower tour after the spring rains. I have been to just about every nook and cranny in the state of Arizona, this is a great state.

 

What is your favorite type of food?

I love Mexican food, it is usually my number one choice. I will go anywhere from the high end places to a cart on the street to get good Mexican food.

 

What are a few posts from CCtoMB that you love?

Lately my three sisters and best food friend, Eric have been creating posts and sending me recipes, I really like their posts. Eric’s post on the Gilbert Farmers Market is one of my favorites.

What kinds of posts do you do a lot of?  What are your favorites?

I like to mix my food posts with stories about my family things do not always go perfect around my house and sometimes those make the best posts. One of my favorite posts is called “Bread & my most embarrassing Pregnancy moment” because it shows that other side of me.

 

What events in AZ do you never miss?

We try to always make it to the Matsuri Festival coming up this weekend.  This is a festival of Japan with great food, art, shows and wares for sale. We always have a great time.

 

What is your favorite season?

I love Fall in Arizona, you finally feel a small break from the heat and right after Halloween the full Holiday season gets into swing.

 

ASU or UofA?
