Personally, I love to create beauty in the home and garden. I enjoy our home and time with my husband and our son Peter and two daughters Analisa and Sophia.  I am often in Door County hiking, biking, kayaking, rollerblading and gardening.  In Northbrook (and Hinsdale!) I enjoy walks with friends, book club, bible study, pilates, yoga, theater and sharing a good meal with family and friends.
