Born and raised in a small farming community in Northern California, now living in the Bay Area with my handsome and loving husband, crazy 2 year old, and have a bun in the oven (coming this April)!  I’m a lover of good food and wine (enjoy the occasional dirty martini when I REALLY want to go for it), enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling the world (preferably without kids), reading books that don’t require a lot of thinking, photography, and writing (which I realized I have missed so much and one of the reasons I have decided to start this blog).

I’m a thinker and find peace in word vomiting everything that comes into my head (and will now be written on this blog).  Becoming a wife and mother has brought me so much joy and happiness, but has also been a struggle in so many ways.  We tend to paint our happy lives on social media, but we all know that life can be hard and messy too and I hope this can be a place for me to share challenging experiences I have had and will have in the future.
