Meet Christine

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and my affectionate Italian-American family all live nearby. My two sisters are my best friends and my parents recently celebrated 40 years of marriage and still live in our childhood home. My family is very close and we spend lots of time together throughout the year. With five little ones in the family (so far!), there is always an abundance of noise, laughter, great food and good times!

My interests include cooking and entertaining, learning to speak Italian, and becoming a budding tri-athlete. My culinary specialties include a traditional Italian lasagna with homemade sauce that is to die for and a scrumptious Mexican Arroz con Pollo – both dishes are great for sharing with hungry friends! I recently completed my first sprint triathlon and I hope to compete again this year. My guilty pleasure is reading and I always have my nose in a book for at least a few minutes each day.

I work part-time in finance for a family-friendly company located just a few miles from our home. My work schedule is flexible and enables me to spend lots of time being a mom. I plan to spend four to five months at home full time when we are blessed with a second baby. Most of all, I LOVE being a mom! On the days I’m not working, I thoroughly enjoy going to playgroups with Julianna and her friends, walking down to the park for some swinging and sliding, or just staying home and playing. I truly relish every minute of motherhood and look forward to sharing my heart with another child!

Tim Adores Christine!

Christine is a loving wife and a devoted mother, and her gentle, patient manner has inspired me to be a better husband and father! With a smile that heals, Christine can lift us up when we’re feeling down, kiss our daughter's bruised knees and soothe her hurt feelings. She’s made our home into a happy and peaceful place for us to spend time together and a place where friends and family are always welcome. Christine is my partner in every aspect of our life together, and I look forward to raising our family with her by my side!
