About

I didn't realize the importance of relaxation until I tried to hand-pump my breasts at a Dave Matthews Band concert.

I'm not a Zen master. Hear me out. I try my damnedest to be, but it annoys the hell out of me when my baby is screaming and I'm frustrated and my husband tells me to be Zen Master Mama. But it's also a good reminder to aspire to be calm and cool.

I became a mom at 26, in January of 2014.

By day, I'm an editor at a food magazine, and I love my job.

By night, I'm a mom, blogger, home cook, reader, wine lover, wife, Pittsburgh-born and Wisonsin-living cheese lover and party animal. (Not really, no. Not that last one.)

I try to make life beautiful for my family.

My husband and I have two dogs, who have fallen dramatically in the chain of command since we brought our daughter home from the hospital.

A high-school guidance counselor told me, when I was 15, that there was "something zen" about me. She then proceeded to give me career advice that I would never follow.

I believe motherhood is 100% the noblest of pursuits, whether you are able to pursue it full-time or not.

I do have a knack for being pretty chill, and I hope that that rubs off on you, too. Cause we all know motherhood could use some relaxation.
