Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I live near Oakland, California, with my three kids—and life is delightfully chaotic.

This blog is where I share the real stuff: favorite family recipes, fun kid activities, and everyday parenting moments. It’s about finding joy in the mess, laughing when we can, and learning along the way.

We’re always cooking something new, exploring the Bay Area, or figuring out how to be more patient. If you’ve ever wondered what to make for dinner or how to keep your kids busy, you’ll find ideas here.

I believe parents are their children’s first and most important teachers. When I was seven, I asked my dad who the most powerful person in the world was. I guessed a president. Maybe a doctor or lawyer. He shook his head and said, “A teacher.” That moment changed me.

Now, I see how true that is. Parenting teaches me something new every day. I try to approach life with curiosity, humility, and a sense of humor. This blog reflects that.

Here, I want to create a sense of connection. Whether you’re a fellow parent, a food lover, or just curious, I hope you feel at home. You’ll find quick meals, creative play ideas, and honest reflections.

This space is for sharing stories and building community. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone—and that there’s beauty in the chaos.

Grab a snack, take a look around, and stay a while. I’m glad we’ve found each other.

If you’d like to collaborate or just want to say hello, email me. I enjoy working with brands that align with our values and only share products we truly love.
