to each his own
Pick a Culture
Mara WhiteDirector/Public Relations
I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and am a proud third-generation graduate of the University of Iowa. I can grill a great steak, and I've never mowed a lawn in my life. I seem to be doing okay with the parenting thing, but my husband will have to be in charge of handling the teenage years. I'm a sucker for a Cosmopolitan martini, little boutique shops and Broadway shows. I read People Magazine and am glad that I follow the personal advice of appreciating good friends and the professional advice of "do what you love and love what you do."

What I Like

  1. Newly clean sheets
  2. Fall football Saturdays
  3. Reading to my kids
  4. Annual trip home for the Kentucky Derby
  5. Laughing with friends
  6. Hosting parties
  7. Spa visits
  8. Funny – really, really funny – kid stories. (ask me about my favorites)

What I Don't

  1. Lima beans
  2. Roughing it
  3. Speeding tickets
  4. Paper cuts
  5. Rude people
  6. Yard work
  7. Personal budget parameters
