Profile
- About Me
- I'm a stay-at-home mom of two: a 9 year-old girl and a 3 year-old boy. I like to run, read, take pictures, and dream about food that no one else in this picky family will eat. I blog at Just Like The Number (http://www.justlikethenumber.com)
- My favorite piece of playground equipment
- I'm pretty fond of the zip line myself.
- Playspaces I've helped build
- I haven't helped with any Kaboom builds, but as the PTO president of my kids' school, we're in the process of coming up with a design to improve and expand the school playspace.
- Skills I can contribute to a playspace build or campaign for play
- I'm a big believer in the need for kids to have time and space to play outside. I'm always on the hunt for playspaces that are different and that give my kids an outlet for their need to stretch their imaginations and their muscles. When I find spaces that we love, I can't wait to share them with other families.
