I'm a professional blogger, author, and mama living in Austin, TX. I've also worked as a cook, a culinary teacher, a craft teacher, in tech, and as a public speaker.

My passion is for all things handmade. I love cooking, making art, building hand crafts, writing, photography, and working in my garden.

My husband is also pretty handy. He landscapes part time, and worked as a carpenter in the past.

We live in South Austin and love meeting our neighbors. I'm also a pretty good teacher when it comes to cooking, crafts, sewing, and soap making. If you live near me and want to learn a new skill please reach out. I'd be happy to trade a lesson.

My husband and I are also ameteur musicians! He plays guitar and I sing. We had a brief career as a folk singer songwriter duo once upon a time. We'd love to get back into it someday!
