Oh hai. When the caterpillar asks, "Who Are You?", I'd reply: I'm an Urban Anthropologist. Sorry, my career has nothing to do with bones, pottery, or dinosaurs. I'm an Admissions & Intakes Manager for individuals with Intellectual Disabilities! My mantra, "I am Macy's Santa-I never say no-I put the individual first-believe in me...support is out there!"

(Relevant to the swapping world: this means I love funky post-its, day planner stickers, & agenda color-coding type items)

When I'm not being professionally awesome, I embrace life as a wonderland of nonsense, in which I can be a lost boy or a wild thing. Within my wonderland I enjoy discovering treasures at thrift stores, finding a good tree to climb while hiking, playing volleyball, designing themed board games nights, playing violin, and in between all of that reading non-stop.

Added About Me Content: I love promoting my husband and I recently became temporary respite Foster Parents to a variety of ages -I mention this because, well 1. I love hearing from fellow Fosters-our org. believes in community, and we grow stronger by learning from each other; and 2. we only have our kids for short periods of time-which means lots of daily craft projects. Our kids love stickers, sensory-based items, black-out poetry, board games ideas, and fidgets-so swap it my way!

Books are my obsession. Books, book clubs, book blogs, goodreads (montigneyrules), sitting in libraries, etc.

I dream of bookshelves wonderfully organized.

I'd prefer just your favorite quote on the back of a card. I think a quote is all a postcard needs. Not that I don't care where you are from, what your weather is like, or what you do in life, but I'd rather know what quote inspires your life or just that day.
