It’s late and I’m sitting crossed-legged in our kitchen floor eating grapes. I needed to plug in Garrett’s printer and all the other outlets are blocked by stacks of boxes. It’s all rather cozy and half of me wishes I could turn these boxes into a fort. You know, a safe haven where an adventure happens and the only thing […]

This is life right now and it’s really good and I’m really thankful for it. Less than three weeks now till we smooch Texas farewell and hug NOLA hello! p.s. whatever did we do without Instagram to tease us with new spots to try out? Loved this counter at District Pies last week.

I like to hit up Costco for Naked Juice when they put it on sale because it’s nearing it’s sell by date. It’s a bit of a thrill this way and I feel slightly less guilty for divulging in such a luxury. I knew we would be hitting the road this week and those cute little meant […]

Goodness the past two weeks went by in a blink. I just made a cup of tea so I suppose there’s no time like the present to catch up. Undoubtedly, not a world concern but I am sipping on the very last of our Mango Passion fruit tea. Yet another reason to make a Sprout’s run. Garrett […]

Next week is my birthday and I turn thirty-one. To be honest, it feels just right. Initially, I was a bit unsure of how I would get along with this new decade of life. My twenties were good but it took a couple of years to get into the full swing of them. I have to […]

It’s a gorgeous morning and per usual the patio doors have been open since before I even made the bed. The birds must be auditioning for Cinderella because they have been singing non stop the past few weeks. We have a few nests in the bushes outside our bedroom window because for the past week I have fallen […]

The back story is always important. I grew up with the incredible luxury of eating my mom’s home cooked meals. I was the kid who thought other kids were lucky for getting to eat white bread and macaroni and cheese from the Kraft box. As previously mentioned, my family benefited greatly from food straight from my […]

My biggest take away from our marriage counseling sessions was quite simple. Your marriage is your garden. It resonated with me, not because I was even interested in gardening at the time, but because of experiences in my childhood. My grandparents were farmers and as kids, my siblings and I would often arrive at their […]

  Some early mornings I can’t fall back asleep. The covers are perfect and the stillness beckons but I find myself ready to say hello to the morning. Such as the case today. It’s also a glorious 45 degrees outside which makes me giddy. I put the kettle on for coffee and started making pancakes. […]

Hello there, Welcome to my new space! I loved my previous website. It did a fantastic job of introducing my children’s book The Wind and the Blows. We had a great run for almost six years but it was time for an update. I dragged my feet for a number of months debating the merits […]
