About Me

Hi, my name is Rachel.  I write a blog about my kids and other stuff.  So what makes mine different from all the other mommy blogs out there?  I'm glad you asked!

1.  Charlotte's Comic - I've developed this really sweet comic strip about my 4 year old daughter.  It's been almost a year now and how cool to have documented her language changes over an entire year!  It's really pushed my Illustrator skills to the next level and I love a challenge.

2.  Homemade - I love to write about homemade food.  Growing up in a family that grew their own veggies and  "made-do" on  a thrifty budget was my training ground!  95% of our meals are home-made because we love it!

3.  Travel - I travel extensively for my job as a director of product development - in short, I develop toys and my friends are wildly jealous because get to travel to cool places like Asia and Europe on a yearly basis.  I share all the bad parts so you can't feel too jealous.

4.  Faith - I'm terrible at writing about my faith.  Seriously it does not come easy!  Sometimes I'd rather chew nails then share my thoughts on Christianity but at the end of the day, I feel called to be a living example of God in my life so I push myself, even when it's hard.
