Jade lives in the southwest suburbs of Chicago with her husband and twin boys, Holden and Elliott. She is also a proud stepmom to three adult kids (Nicole, Canon, and McKenzie). Jade is the first person in her family to go to college, and the only attorney in the family (so she gets a lot of random legal questions).
