Because We're Nosey …

What’s the most creative thing your parents did with you as a kid?
"Travel! My parents didn't think twice about taking my sister and me on adventures all around the world. It allowed me to develop an amazing sense of people and culture.”

"My mom got creative with my hair. I had to have the hairdos that all the latest stars had. When Dirty Dancing came out, I had Baby’s 'do.”

"Easter egg hunts in July, hide-and-seek in the dark with flashlights ... the list goes on and on! Fortunately, my parents were kids at heart. They taught me that having an open mind and being creative goes beyond the arts, and helps with solving situations in everyday life.”
