Hiking in Joshua Tree National Park

Story time with my favorite guy. I love reading - including silly voices.

Favorite season and why?

Fall. When it's starting to get cool, but not yet cold. It's just so lovely. Although my absolute favorite thing is the first real snow when everything is blanketed and looks still and perfect.

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

It's full of families, parks, great schools, walking trails... and there are amazing neighbors all around

-Ellen

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

RV. A sailboat seems lovely for a while, but I think I'd prefer an RV - or more of a camper van so I can explore.

-Ellen

My favorite Instagram account is:

I love Adam Rippon (https://www.instagram.com/adaripp). His instagram stories were an uplifting (and hilarious) light during the height of the pandemic and still bring me so much joy.

-Ellen

Hiking in LA. One of my closest friends lives there and I try to visit as often as possible.

Ringing in the New Year (2022) in a remote cabin

My family showing off the flannel pants I made everyone for Christmas.

Dogs or cats?

I have a cat, but I'd say dogs in general.

-Ellen

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

My dad. He passed away almost 9 years ago and I would love to have another conversation with him.

-Ellen

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

I don't have any other children, but I hope any child I have will one day have a sibling.

-Ellen

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

What a vast and amazing universe we have and how small we are. It somehow always brings me comfort.

-Ellen

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

card/board games with my family. We love to play games and it can get competitive, but all in fun. My mom's scrabble game is full of old score sheets with notes about the games over the years.

-Ellen

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

to make the world just a little kinder. I think if we had more compassion in the world it could truly make the world a better place and the future better for the next generation.

-Ellen

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

Hopefully be open (if they so desire) and healthy.
