Caroline is a mom to two boys, a toddler and baby. Along with exploring DC through kid eyes, she loves spending time with her dog and husband, which now includes early morning walks to grab coffee in their Brookland neighborhood and finding activities to tire out the toddler. Brunch has already been her favorite, and she loves that DC has the best brunch scene. She works as a healthcare lobbyist, but her real passion is eating dessert, watching reality shows, and going to bed early.
