Welcome to my white picket life!* 

(*where it's definitely not all rainbows and butterflies...)

I BLOG ABOUT:

The joys and challenges of FAMILY LIFE. I believe it's empowering to discuss the questions we have and the insights we discover while doing our best. Between working on a strong marriage navigating divorce, managing sibling rivalry, maintaining close relationships, and stumbling through the teen years- there's plenty to talk about! 

BAKING (the best reason for a messy kitchen!) and HEALTHIER FOOD for families. It can be hard to find a variety of meals that are well-balanced and taste good. Add in the need for quick & easy or make-ahead meals and it's something I'm always working on. 

The importance of TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF. I hope to encourage you as I write about my journey toward general health and fitness, mental health and happiness, and not losing yourself even though you give so much to others. 

MUSIC and BOOKS. I'm always looking for something new to read or listen to, so I share my discoveries with you here. Playlists, book reviews, artist spotlights, inspiring lines and passages... I hope you find something new to enjoy, and chime in with your own favorites.

Find me on Facebook for fun extras and be the first to read what's new when you subscribe by email or your favorite RSS feed.

Thanks for stopping by!
