Favorite season and why?

"Spring, I love when the world comes back to life." - Leann

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"I don't have kids, but do have a 5-year old niece and 1-year old nephew nearby. They (and the rest of my family) are very much hoping to welcome a new baby soon." - Lauren

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"How big the world and universe is. The starry night is so beautiful, it is fun to look for shooting stars and looking at all the constellations." - Linsey

What scares you?

"Lack of acceptance" - Joshua

My philosophy on parenting is...

"A child is a growing human being and not an extension of myself. They deserve the respect and acceptance to be exactly who they are. The goal is a happy child. " - Rachel

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"there are so many other families, kids of all ages, dogs walking all the time and extremely supportive and friendly neighbors. There is also a shared pond for fishing and learning about animals. A ton of parks are nearby as well." - Maggie

My philosophy on parenting is...

"It's our job to show our child unconditional love, support and guidance but I don't believe my job is to be their best friend. I don't believe in physical punishment but I understand the value of setting boundaries and sticking to them. We believe in helping our child navigate the hard stuff, understand and learn from their mistakes and, above all give them the tools and confidence to discover the path in life that makes them the happiest." - Jonas Stolpe

What scares you?

"Spiders." - Ashley Saindon
