An Introduction

Hi! I’m Sunshine, chef, writer, and mother of two awesome little ladies. Here I’ll be sharing my writing and journey through traditional publishing, unqualified book reviews, recipes, travel stories, parenting fails, and probably lots of picture of what I’m cooking and eating. 

Meet my family—Tim, who I met long ago in the far away land of downtown Seattle, is my partner in parenting and travel shenanigans. It was not love at first sight, in fact I reported him to management a number of times but they refused to fire him and he grew on me. Of course, a few months in I got restless and my ever-present wanderlust shouted “it’s not you, I just need to leave the country”. He said great, I’m coming too, and we’ve been together ever since (outside the time I unfairly left him behind in a crazy small town in Maine and flew off to France. Totally a story for another time). 

Seventeen years later we have two charmingly exuberant and overly loquacious daughters, three and seven years old, have closed my catering company for good, packed the house, and are preparing to embark on a round the world journey with our delusions of grandeur and laptops packed. 

Tim will be running our two mattress stores while we are abroad and I’ll be—mommying, writing, cooking, travel planning, reading, eating, drinking a metric ton of wine, and having an all- around heck of an amazing time. Can’t wait to tell you about it!
