I'm married to Erik and together we have four children, Peregrine, Poppy, Raphael, and Pearl. Most of my time is spent caring for this little family, feeding and nurturing their bodies, minds, and spirits. While we currently enjoy life in America's Pacific Northwest, we're preparing to embark on year long pilgrimage of sorts. We plan to travel the world, seeing old friends, making new ones, and visiting places that are significant to our faith as Orthodox Christians. At the end of that time, we hope to have a better idea of where we'd like to settle down.
In my "found moments", I usually have some creative endeavor that keeps my hands busy. These include (but are in no way limited to) hand quilting, sewing, making Waldorf dolls, working with wool felt, and more. I also enjoy learning about and preparing nourishing, traditional foods and exploring natural ways to keep my family healthy. Writing is another creative outlet that I find essential to take part in. I love the community that blogging provides, and my enjoyment of the writing process is enhanced by an honest exchange of thoughts and ideas. In other words, I love to hear from you! Please feel free to leave a comment with your opinions and feelings; I'd enjoy getting to know you.
Here you will find musings on life, parenting, simplicity, world travel, marriage, faith, family, creativity, and the occasional nourishing recipe. Thanks for visiting!
