My name is McKenzi and I am a 27 year old wife, mother, pastry chef, dog-mom, aunt, gardener, world traveler, pianist, and generally weird human being! I love all of those things about my life!
This is me...
From the age of 11, I lived in a small town in (lets be honest here) the middle of the freaking desert. Before the age of 11, I lived in a moderately sized city and loved it. When we moved to this small town, I was appalled (if I had known how to be appalled at 11) !! Where are the stores? The mall? Not even a Walmart?!
Fast forward some time and after a year traveling internationally, I moved to the Vancouver/ Portland area to be with the love of my life... that guy I married 7 1/2 years ago! After almost 8 years of living in the city and doing the city thing every day for work; we finally had ourselves a little girl! Our choice was for me to go from full time working pastry chef- to full time stay at home mama.
Because of that choice, all of the things I had loved about the city, started to really not matter. The amazing food (that I never wanted to travel to eat anymore), the exciting night life (mama exhaustion), friends (45 minutes away), and the solitude of your entire family living 16 hours away started to make me feel quite down. Now... don't get me wrong, I was so utterly happy. But there were aspects of my life that just weren't right anymore.
So after a few months of going back and forth on a decision, my husband and I decided to move back to our small town lives! It was a HUGE decision that we finally made over the course of 2 days. 2 Weeks later... we were gone! It felt really sudden for a lot of people, but for us it was a long time coming.
That brings us up to speed!
So now instead of city life and constant dinning out... my entire life has changed. FOR THE BETTER.
In this blog I will share my love for gardening, baking, canning, small town life, and sometimes... our travels outside our small town!
