Christine Brinkmann

My name is Christine but mostly I'm called mom. Sometimes endearingly, often with connotations. Before I became a mom I really didn't know what to do or be so I tried lots of things out. Art, art school, private chef, catering, travel, yoga, swimming, and lots of play! Life is much different now. My monkeys are everything to me. Tonight I am going to talk about one way they have shaped my life... through FOOD!
