About This Place On The Interweb
This is me.
Time for an update!
Let’s face it: there was no deep, meaningful reason that I created this blog. At the time, I was a new SAHM (Stay At Home Mama) who spent a lot of time nursing her little bundle of joy and surfing the net.
A year or so later, and I have completely fallen in love with baking and the baking community. I have been having a blast discovering all the creative ways to play with desserts, and “meeting” other bakers! A short five years ago, I would have told you I wasn’t interested in cooking or baking or being in a kitchen at all. Turns out, I had a total foodie hiding inside of me, just waiting to be turned loose!
I love reading other people’s blogs – it’s like meeting lots of other SAHMs, SAHFs, HOJOs, MOJOs (yeah I made those up…) and so on without actually interacting with anybody. It’s great! Or else it’s making my cabin fever worse. One of those two.
Those little babies that I had when I started this blog are now school-aged, and we spend lots of time homeschooling. We primarily use Classical Conversations for our curriculum, but we also use several other programs for math, English, and a little extra science, too. Maybe soon I will change the direction of this blog to focus more on homeschooling since it is such a big part of my life now!
I am married to a very busy, opinionated, good-hearted, goofy, handsome, programmer-extraordinaire (who has helped change this blog from a very plain, un-inspired thing to the pretty cool place you’re visiting now – thanks, love!) who drives me nuts and keeps me sane, too. We’re cut from the same cloth and couldn’t do without eachother and that’s all there is to say about that!
I am a Christian. An imperfect, often hypocritical, God-fearing, salvation believing Christian. I won’t preach to you, or shove my beliefs down your throat…but this is my “about me” section and that’s a huge thing you should know about me. Also, let’s try to keep everything here PG-13, mkay? Mkay.
So that’s all about this place on the interweb.

This is your mom and the last time I checked, my name was Ruth. I’m proud of you, your crazy-and-fits-right-in-the-family husband, David, and just plain goofy about Lauren. I have no idea where you got all the craziness from but I like it and you express it really well. OK. That’s all the exercise my fingers can take today. Anyhow – cool blog! This from the woman who knows everything but can’t remember most of it. 🙂
So is this where I type up something to get your attention. Ha. You are going to have to cook for me sometime. When you coming to Minnesota?
more stick drawings!! please?!?
i need to email you about my mom. not exactly the same situation but close.
hard to deal with, eh? maybe even more so since it forces us to face our own mortality.
becki d. i just have on question.
do you eat everything you bake? 🙂
Of course I do!
That’s why I have to keep forcing myself to run, when I’m not preggo. 🙂
I’m probably biased a little cause you’re my little sista! I haven’t tried even a .5 of your delectable treats but I do know that everything you bake is made with love which in my opinion makes it the best! I am really proud of you and your whole family! You are now, was then, and always will be…My FAVORITE and BELOVED sister!
Hi, love your blog design. Your husband did a great job. I love baking too. It is one of the only things apart from exercise (which I haven’t done in a while) that gets rid of stress. It was great to stumble upon your site. On Tuesdays I do a recipe sharing kind of thing where you can post a link to your recipes. I would love for you to come on over. See you!
Becki~
Your husband sounds exactly like mine! Thanks for the visits to my blog and good luck with your horse training:) I enjoyed reading about you.
