I have a spacious, warm and welcoming home in San Mateo, California. San Mateo is about 20 minutes south of San Francisco, in northern California. It is a perfect home for a child growing up. My bedroom and the baby’s room are right next to each other. The house has a spacious living room with comfortable furniture, my piano and lots of floor space for crawling around! I have a large backyard where children can play, and San Mateo Central Park is only a ten minute walk away. The park has a big playground, picnic area, gardens and ballpark.

This is a new home for me, so I can be close to family when I become a new mom. My father – looking forward to a new grandchild - is only a 15 minute walk away. It will be easy for him to drop by and we can easily visit him as well. One of my brothers and his family, as well as several cousins, are only a five minute drive away. I am surrounded by wonderful and supportive family. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, perfect for strolling my new baby. Shops for all types of errands are only a 5-10 minute walk away, so the baby and I will be able to be outside walking a lot during the day.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where I lived for six years, is also still very close to my heart. We will spend as much of the summer months there as possible, surrounded by the beautiful Teton Mountains, the many friends I have there, and family and friends who come to visit.
