Writing is one of the hardest and most rewarding things I've ever done -- well, that and motherhood -- yet I can't stop diving into it (and motherhood is sort of a forever type of thing, so I dove into that pool for a long swim).

This blog is all about a simple but good life. While it began years ago as an outlet for my creative writing -- and there are a lot of writing articles -- it is ultimately about everything that happens in my life. The older I get, the more I want to simplify my life and take note of the good things around me. Getting to write about it makes me happy. 

I live in sunny Northern California and along with doodling down ideas and dialogue for middle-grade fiction, short stories, and articles, I also love vintage clothing -- both wearing and selling it. 

I’m glad you’re here.
