Dogs or cats?

"I love both, but I have always had cats. Because they are loving, sweet, independent and I dont feel guilty like leaving a dog. But I do regularly dog sit the best and cutest Golden Doodle!" - Linsey

My philosophy on parenting is...

Favorite season and why?

"Caroline and I both love the fall. The way the air smells in the evening, sitting around a fire pit with friends, days at the local apple orchard or pumpkin patch. We love the colors of fall and the excitment felt of the upcoming holiday season where we decorate and celebrate and spend time with loved ones. We also love fall because our favorite "holiday" takes place... HALLOWEEN! Every year for Halloween, we host a big party for our friends and their families. Children of all ages attend and everyone must wear a costume! There are activities for children such as scavenger hunts, pumpkin decorating, and a pinata! Our friends tell us every year how their children look forward to this party. Caroline and I spend weeks planning a theme and decorating, as well as coming up with new activities for the guests. This is by far our favorite party of the year." - Jacquelyn

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

"We have an almost 8 year old son who has wanted a sibling for so long. He would make the most amazing big brother. He's thoughtful and caring and would take the best care of a sibling. It makes him sad quite often that he's an only child and he often tells us he's still hoping for more kids in our family." - Anjie

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

"Daniel Radcliffe" - Ian

My favorite place in the World is...

"Definitely home is where the heart is. I love being in my space and with my mom. Other special places for me are San Francisco (where I grew up), Scotland (a good friend lives here and I just love how green and beautiful it is), Mexico (I have a special love for it), and Mendocino, CA!" - Emily
