Hm, how to sum yourself up in a paragraph or two. I am… a mother, a wife, a professional, an amateur gardener, a beginner crafter, an avid reader, a wannabe writer, a traveller, and a web junkie – not necessarily in that order. I have four children, my son P (born in autumn 2007) and my daughter M (born in late spring 2010) and my twins B & C (born in the spring of 2013). I live with my husband J in East Vancouver.
As well as just talking about me, and things that interest me, I love to cook, so sometimes I talk about the meals I’m making for my family. I’m also getting back into sewing after a long respite, so sometimes I talk about the stuff I’m making. I don’t claim to be an expert in either field, but sometimes making mistakes along the way (many of which will be chronicled here, I’m sure) is the best way to learn.


Super family totem photo! I look forward to seeing what transpires here in blog land, and thanks for making note of the seldom-updated Patisserie Bateau
So good about this ‘primary’ system – I feel better too!
