About Me
I am a wife and new mother to one precious little boy.
I was born In Chicago, Illinois to military parents which I assume would make me a military brat. We always moved around a lot so I’ve been many places and have met some pretty cool people.
I’m the oldest of nine siblings and I agree with you if you’re thinking that that’s a lot of people to keep up with.
I have always loved the idea of doing things myself instead of buying it. There’s just something so satisfying about completing a project, nurturing plants, and cooking a meal so good that you hunger for more.
I have a passion for learning new skills and expanding upon what I learned so I can share it with you.
I’ve also started a deep dive into all things sourdough and gardening. If I could have it my way the whole backyard would be a garden oasis but, I have to save some room for my husband. It’s only fair right.
Fun facts about me:
I love the to build. I would build my house again from scratch if I could!
I love Harry Potter books but have never been to Harry Potter World. Apparently it’s a right of passage I wasn’t aware of.
I’ve been to 13 schools from the 4th grade throughout the 12th grade. I know that sounds like a ridiculous amount of schools but, growing up with navy parents makes moving a lot pretty standard.
I’m absolutely in love with my cast iron collection in my kitchen. Is there a such thing as having too many?
