Fighting Dragons From Across the Rainbow Bridge
As darkness falls outside our home, the monsters come out. The shape, size and intention of these creatures change as my boys age and their viewing habits introduce new creatures to their inner grimoires. However, no matter the creature that could be lurking in the yard, ready to peek in through the windows, Bella the ghost dog is ready to protect my boys from any danger.

In 2022, I'm Giving Myself More of These Things
I love making New Year’s resolutions. I am great at starting things, reinventing myself, going all-in on the new me. But middles? Not so much.

The drone approached and scanned her. A green light flashed as her tattoo was confirmed to match her tracking chip.

A Quest for Oceanic Nomadhood
In the next 4 years, I hope you will find us living on a catamaran, sailing around the world. For our family, boating, and water in general, is a central focus of our lives. My husband is the navigator, mechanic and engineer. I am the scientist and web writer, the teacher and the curator of wonder for my 9- and 7-year-old boys. While we have big dreams, we are still saving for a boat and building a content product that we can create that narrates our journey by way of our biggest passions.
