About

I am a SAHM that has a love for my family, food, writing, crafting, photography and most of all a clean and orderly house. I feel I was born in the wrong era in many ways and the only thing I would change if I was a “Donna Reed or June Cleaver” kind of mom is that I would still get to wear my sweats and Crocs while washing the windows (yes, I wear those very ugly, yet very comfortable modern-day Birkenstocks, but ONLY around the house).

I am married to the hubs aka President of the Nerd Herd (he is a mechanical engineer) who is literally  Macgyver.  The man can do anything!  There also is the bonus that he is my best friend and partner through this amazing journey of life and parenthood. I am also mother of two little girls, that are 17-months apart; currently they are 5 and 4.  They are the essence of what little girls should be; sweet, sometimes salty, but always the joys of my life. AND I am NOT a dog owner, my pound puppy OWNS me. I have to say she is the laziest beast that walks the planet.

I have dabbled in a lot of different hobbies from marathon running, triathlon, backpacking, surfing, but the one thing I keep coming back to is creating either in the craft room, behind a keyboard or in the kitchen.

I hope you enjoy your piece of life’s pie that is served up here and that you walk away feeling full and satisfied.
