I'm the mother of two spirited little girls and I've been married to my long-time best friend, Matt, since 1995. Although we enjoy traveling to new places each year, my favorite times are just spent in the coziness of our home watching my girls play together and listening to Matt play his cello and classical guitar (www.triolumina.com). One of my favorite times of day is late afternoon. I crank up my fusion jazz music, pour a glass of Syrah and create something (hopefully) wonderful for my family to eat for dinner. I love the simple pleasures of life, such as quiet time to curl up and read and gaze out my windows at the beautiful islands dotting the Salish Sea. I love where I live, and am thankful to God for our health, happiness and loving family. We are blessed! Anything organic! But mostly comfort food.
