Starting over isn’t something I haven’t done before.

I dropped out of high school. I battled addiction. I went back to school in my 40s and earned an MBA. I built a career, moved to Canada, built another life, and eventually came home to Oregon.

Now I’m rebuilding again—this time one room, one garden bed, one creative project and one adventure at a time.

♥♥ CURRENTLY CAUSING CHAOS ♥♥

BUBBLE & SQUEAK

Two little sisters. Zero respect for personal space and an unreasonable amount of purring.

THE HOUSE

Turning 12 years of neglect into a home—one project, one repair, one surprise at a time.

THE GARDEN

Growing food, experimenting with new things and letting nature do her own thing.

THE OREGON COAST

Whales, wild places, salty air and the incredible coast I call home.

COME HANG OUT FOR A WHILE. 💜

There’s always something going on around here.

Sometimes I’m fixing the house.
Sometimes I’m growing something.
Sometimes I’m making something.
Sometimes I’m chasing whales.
And sometimes two tiny cats have completely derailed the schedule.

Pull up a chair. You’re welcome here.
