I’m good at organization and time management. My cardio is to organize kitchen cupboards and folders on the computer. Everything labeled and in the right place gives me peace of mind. Needless to say, my favorite tv show is "The Home Edit". For almost everything, I make lists and write them down so that nothing gets away from me. I like to have my day organized by time batching.

I’m bad at cooking. Although I love good food, cooking is not my strong suit. The Thermomix is my best friend, and the greatest act of love you can do for me is to cook me dinner.

I’m learning about candle making. I love candles, especially if they are scented. Likewise, I really enjoy making crafts, it's almost like therapy, and adding essential oils to it is a whole sensory experience. I can only recommend!
