“I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.”

     – Joni Mitchell

I live in southern California with my husband and 2.5-year-old son.

This is my place to talk about the things that I feel make my life worth living. My husband. My son. My family and friends. My passions - food, cooking, reading, writing, knitting, and other craft arts. And to share my perspective on the world and learn about others'.

I read food and knitting blogs and I belong to online communities that have to do with parenthood, marriage, cooking and knitting. This is just my place - to write about whatever I'm thinking.

Feel free to come in and say hello, put your two cents in, compliment, rant, and even criticize. I only ask that you do with your best intentions and that no flaming or cruel words be directed at either me or any other fellow poster.

Note: I will not be posting any personal, identifiable pictures of me and my family. For those readers who want to see such pictures, I direct you to my LiveJournal blog. Register and post a reply to the only public post there, and I will "friend" you.
