I’m a Los Angeles born sun-loving swimmer who turned into a Seattle scarf wearing coffee snob in college. I began blogging as a way to share my adventures abroad during a semester in the Middle East.

I found a new identity in a small-town in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York as a young newly-wed with an old soul. I married L, someone young at heart and laid back.  I began blogging again to share my adventures on the East Coast with my West Coast family.

I am thrilled to live back in the Northwest on a timber farm with L and my little boy Z.  I blog now about my everyday adventures learning and living in my many roles including as mother and wife.

I’m an indoor introvert who loves baking and cooking healthy simple meals from scratch as often as possible. I’m an outdoor extrovert who loves camping, hiking, kayaking, and overall exploring the world around me.

I’m a writer, editor, and curriculum designer translating what people say; illuminating their unique voice and visions.  I’m a perpetual, although sometimes protesting, learner of self, the world, and faith.

Join my everyday journey.
