about

I am a southerner transplanted to Beantown for my husband's job. In a former life, I was a public health professional who showered on a regular basis and could recall words like plethora and gusto easily. Now I spend an alarmingly large portion of my day giving simple directions like "Go around to the other side of the couch. No, the other side. Sweetie, around the couch, like this. That's it, now look on top. On top. TOP. By that I mean look up. Ok, now do you see it? No?"

I am happy to have found the love of my life, and I try not to take my good fortune for granted. For my work life, I dabble in freelance writing and am a birth doula, childbirth educator, and breastfeeding counselor. In my free time, I enjoy photography and organizing the objects in my house.

I am a foodie, yogi nerd. We eat seasonally and locally as much as we can. I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat, and I spend much of my free time in search of the perfect recipes. I adore pickles, and when I'm not looking for recipes I'm probably looking for a new pickle to devour. I am learning to give grace to myself and my family.

Sometimes I give updates on what's happening in our lives. Mostly I write about family life and what interests me. I ramble often. I hope you enjoy it.
