Welcome to my site! I am a writer and blogger–when I am not juggling cooking, cleaning, running a “taxi service”, and way too much laundry for only two people! I am infinitely grateful to my amazing husband, who allows me to stay home to tackle these tasks, avoiding the dreaded day job.

As much as I enjoy the four seasons my hometown offers, my absolute favorite place to be is on a nice warm beach with my feet in the warm sand, the water splashing over my toes–something that tends to be obvious in my writing. Since Pennsylvania doesn’t boast a beach as one of its many attributes, I don’t get to spend quite as much time at the beach as I would like.  Even at home, I find myself barefoot more often than not–a beach bum at heart! (Of course, this drives my husband crazy, given my obsession with shopping for cute shoes! )

 When not lounging on a beach (so, most days), I split my time between my office and my kitchen.  I love cooking and baking and trying out new recipes; visitors can always count on some fresh-baked treats.  I am (slightly) addicted to TV, and usually have the Food Network or HGTV on in the background, even when I am writing.

Check out my blog to find some of my favorite recipes, new projects, fun writing news, and anything else I come across that is just too crazy, cool, or cute not to pass on. Feel free to join in on the conversation any time! You can also find out more about me, or check out what I am reading.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you just want to say hi – or you can hit me up on Twitter or Facebook.  I would love to hear from you!  :-)
