Hi y\u2019all! My name is Becca and I am the newest addition to the UncommonGoods team. I will be blogging and tweeting about UG throughout the summer. I would love for you to get to know me. Here are some fun facts\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div align=\"center\">\n

I volunteer with Camp Kesem<\/a>, a national organization that provides a free weeklong summer camp for children whose parents have or have had cancer, and develops student leaders. It is inspiring, empowering, and all around fun. (Seriously, who wouldn\u2019t want to hang out with amazing children, playing hilarious and fun games for a week in the summer!) <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div align=\"center\">\n

I love water \u2013 in a glass, in a pool, in the ocean, as rain, etc. As far back as I can remember my summers revolved around swim team! Go Gorillas! (Yes, my summer swim team\u2019s mascot was a Gorilla. I know that Gorillas are not a water animal, and most likely cannot swim, but I just love the irony!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div align=\"center\">\n

Despite a slight aversion to planes, I love to travel. I had the incredible opportunity to travel abroad last summer in Germany. I loved exploring the cities, the history, the culture, and the food! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div align=\"center\">\n[I ate this delicious plate of pasta in Germany, the land of schnitzel and bratwurst.]\n

Speaking of food, I love pasta to the point of it being almost an obsession. I would eat pasta every night for dinner (and probably lunch) if I didn\u2019t think a little variety is good in a healthy diet. Also, shout out to my mom who makes the best spaghetti and meatballs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div align=\"center\">\n

Finally, no list of things about me would be complete without an uncommon fact. So, without further ado, I collect wind chimes. I started back when my family used to go to the beach in the summer. I love their peaceful sound and know that they will be the perfect addition to my future house\u2019s sun room or wrap around porch (hey, a girl can dream!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
