About Jamie

I'm a mom, a journalist, an occasional runner, and a lover of all things Apple. I have a wonderful 8-year-old son, two crazy dogs, and a plethora of BFFs whom I just adore. In my free time (which I don't have much of) I like to cook, read People Magazine, and practice not biting my nails. Twitter: @JamieButow. Facebook: Facebook.com/JamieButow2
