About Me

My photo
Alice
Utah, United States
I'm a mom, a wife, a grad student, a blogger, a gardener, and a cake baker. I recently moved back to the community in which I, my father, my grandmother and beyond, were raised, where the stories of my childhood were born. I look up at the mountains and I think of all those who came before me who loved those same mountains. I feel the dirt between my fingers and think of the generations who tilled the same earth. I’ve moved home, to reclaim my ancestors, the pioneers who sacrificed so much and left me with even more.
