One of my hidden talents is that I am very good at doing hair. I was the go-to hair braider for my softball teams through the years, and I could do all kinds of crazy designs with only a braid. I was pretty much a hair Michelangelo. I [...]

I watch a lot of TV, but never so much as when I was pregnant. I was on modified bed rest, so I had the TV on constantly to keep my mind off of things. And I’m not even going to pretend I watched any CNN or [...]

This was not an inherited trait.
I abhor wrapping gifts. I tell people [...]

Like your favorite band, the chicks of Aiming Low are going on tour. At the end of October, we’re hitting two of the coolest cities on the eastern seaboard – Boston and New York – and we want to see YOU! But don’t worry, we’re not going to [...]
