Occupation: Iâm primarily a stay-at-home mom, but for eight years Iâve been an independent rep for Premier Designs Jewelry, selling high fashion jewelry of all kinds.

Family: My husband is Paul, and he owns Country Colors Painting, his own business. We have three children. Henry is 9, Emma is 7Â½, and Jack is 3Â½ years old.

Pets: We just got a puppy for Christmas. Jedi is a golden labradoodle that we rescued from a shelter in Granville when he was very tiny. We canât wait for those puppy teeth to fall out! And we have two fishbowls on the kitchen counter.

How long have you lived in Newtown? We have been here for ten years. We lived in Milford before that, on the beach.

What do you like to do in your free time? I am in the PM Newcomerâs Book Club, which I love. I joined just a year ago and the ladies are so nice. Iâve just started knitting, and am enjoying that. We like to get out and walk now, especially with the puppy. Jack is a golfer, so weâre often out in the backyard golfing with the real clubs he got from Santa. And I like spending time with my friends, when I can fit it in.

Do you have a favorite author? I do really like Diana Gabaldon, the author of The Outlander series. I definitely prefer fiction, but with the club, Iâve been branching out and reading things I would not have read before.

Do you have a favorite travel destination? We go to Cape Cod in the summer and I love it, especially with the kids at this age. We rent a whole house and have been to a couple of different spots on the Cape.

What is the best thing about Newtown? There are a lot of good things. Definitely it is the people and the feeling of community. But itâs really our neighbors. With the two power outages last fall, we took turns cooking on each otherâs grills. I can call my neighbors my friends, and I love that.

Who has been the greatest influence on your life? Probably my mom. She is just such a strong woman. She got a full time job at GE, and then went back to school and got her law degree when she was in her 50s. Sheâs amazing. She never stops. Sheâs always taking classes and never stops learning. Seeing how strong she was during difficult times has been an encouragement to me. She stands up for what she believes in.

Do you have a personal philosophy? I believe thereâs always a bright side to things. I try to see the good in everything â people and situations.

Do you have a guilty pleasure? Taking time to go and get my nails done. Stealing that little bit of time to do something for myself feels guilty. Or curling up with a book when Jack is napping, instead of doing the dishes.

Go Out And Vote April 23

Supporting Our Kids By Supporting Our Schools

Vote Yes On April 23

All I Ask Is That You Think About It

Let Your Voice Be Heard By Voting No, ‘Too High’

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Melillo Announces Departure To Darien

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
