A mom to Gabe (3) and Elaina (6 months) A wife to Mike, who I married about a year after meeting (online) – when you know, you know! An avid Notre Dame fan A Barnes & Thornburg lifer. I started as a summer associate and have worked in three offices, and truly love them all. A horseback rider and competitor A firm believer that “love is love” Extremely close to my (large and loud) family Excited to attend any sporting event A devoted friend. I had 12 bridesmaids who are all still my best friends, and I would have a few more to add if I were getting married today! Happiest when I am with my kids (and on a beach, if we are getting specific)

Alida Baldazo Chicago
Half Dutch and half Mexican, and I always thought that was a unique combo Named after my Dutch great-great-aunt; nobody pronounces my name correctly, but I’m never offended by it Occasionally a stand-in for my husband’s social media projects at work and was on a billboard once An animal lover and self-proclaimed “cat lady”. I also have the sweetest pit bull ever. A major control freak and have to remind myself to “let it go” frequently All about camping, fishing and hiking and I go on annual kayak trips at Turkey Run Married to someone four inches shorter than me – without heels on A band geek at heart; I played clarinet for seven years, piano for a couple and now handbells in my church choir An avid concert-goer – I go to about 20 concerts a year A person with MAJOR anxiety. Agreeing to be featured here made me dizzy and my throat close up.

Back to I Am Barnes & Thornburg
One of three girls raised solo by a “girl dad” who I adore The incredibly proud parent of four adult kids who are finding their own lanes in Grand Rapids, Chicago, Albany and Boston Infatuated with my new grandson and with a second arriving-in-October grandson. I love seeing the light bulb go off for my two oldest sons as they finally understand how much love a parent has for their child. Proof you can make partner as a working mom. It wasn’t always a straight line, but I don’t have any regrets about the journey Happiest on a beach on Lake Michigan with a book in my hands and my feet in the sand An honored supporter of Out Side In equine therapy, whose mission is to improve the lives of people struggling with mental health and emotional issues. OI adopts and trains retired, off-track thoroughbred horses to assist in the therapy effort. A big fan of Weimaraners ever since I saw one in a dog show in 1985. We have always had one, two or three at a time and my newest/best girl is Josephine, a blue Weimaraner that my husband (lovingly) refers to as a cast-off. We got her because the intended owners couldn’t come across the Canadian border during COVID-19 to retrieve her.
