Welcome to Storybook Woods, my little corner of the world. I have been blogging over 5 years now and I still love it. I am happily married for over twenty five years to a wonderful man, who puts up with my hair brained ideas. I have two daughters Auberne` (22) and Chloe (17). We have always HSed in a Charlotte Mason/unschool style. I believe if you give children the tools to learn, be an example of the joy of learning and do not try to shove them into a curriculum that does not suit them, they will become the people they were created to be and have a love of learning their whole life. I have written a novel/cookbook Wren Bay and I am working on my second book. I am also the food editor of Gathering Magazine.

I live in a charming 100 year old cottage in the woods with arched door and windows. I love to craft and live to cook. I love having tea parties, knitting, gardening, old children’s books (I have a whole library of them), taking something then making a whole new something out of it and now, thanks to my blog, I can add writing novels. My idea of heaven is on a cool fall day, after a nice walk, to snuggle up next to the woodstove, knit, drink a cup of lavender/rosemary tea and a piece of something yummy, maybe some chocolate too.
Sounds a bit like a fairytale? Well most days it is!
