Graci: My family moved a lot when I was younger, but we settled here in Greenwich when I was in middle school. My husband and I moved to Old Greenwich three years ago. My son is 2 years old and my daughter is almost 3 months old.
For clothes, I love Janie and Jack, Anna Banana, Hoaglands and, of course, Old Navy for my son’s play clothes. Smart Kids is my go-to for birthday gifts.
What are your favorite events in Greenwich/Old Greenwich/Riverside/Cos Cob?

What are your favorite restaurants in Greenwich/Old Greenwich/Riverside/Cos Cob?
With the kids, we love Sweet Pea’s Bakery, the Old Greenwich Social Club, Little Pub and Bartaco in Port Chester. And my husband and I love Le Fat Poodle and Kira Sushi.
What is your favorite kid-friendly recipe?
Any kind of mac-and-cheese is always a big hit in our house.
Favorite hobbies?
Playing with my adorable kids and dog, volunteering, reading, taking my kids to playgrounds and to some of the many fantastic pre-school programs around town.
Growing up in Greenwich, I felt strongly about getting involved in the community as soon as I moved back. In addition to volunteering for my alma mater, Greenwich Academy, I love working with organizations and on events that I can share with my family. A few of my favorites are the Bruce Museum (my son loves visiting the animals, touch tank and their fabulous child-focused exhibitions, like Wild Reading which is now on view), Go Wild!, and the Junior League. I also co-chair the Greenwich Newcomers Kids at Play program, which includes playgroups and other fun events around the community for parents who are new to town and/or those who just want to meet new friends! I feel so lucky that I am able to raise my family in this town and am thrilled that there are so many wonderful opportunities to get involved and meet so many great people!
