I am a wife and mother in my early 40’s with a 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl living in coastal New England.  I also have 2 young adult step-children.  I love being a mom and love babies so much I would have 10 more if I could (although my practical-self probably would stepped in and a likely compromise reached with the baby-addict-self)!  I enjoy working part-time from home as a product designer.  After working full-time for 15 year, it is a nice being able to continue to keep up my skills but with the flexibility to enjoy more adventures with my children.

I started this blog in order to express and record my love for the richness of everyday family life (think Redbook magazine), explore my interests (think Smithsonian magazine), satisfy my children’s curiosities (think National Geographic Kids), and experiment with my art (think children’s book art).  I think I just realized why I buy too many magazines!
