About


Hi, I'm Sybil, welcome to my blog! I have been writing this blog for just over seven years now. I started it initially  to document my journey as a mama to my then one year old daughter, Iris. She is eight now. Shortly after I began blogging I became pregnant with Eloise. She is six now. My blogging focus in the beginning was pregnancy, child birth, breastfeeding, and all things natural parenting as they related to me and my family.

In the past few years my blog has morphed in to blogging more about myself and less about my children. I write about whatever comes to mind, from food to travels to home ownership to parenting. Lately, though, I have been been writing more and more about my running passion. As of this writing I am working towards training for a marathon, for the second time. My first round of training left me with an injury and needing to drop of out of my race.

My blog was, and still is, mostly a journal. A place to dump my thoughts and collect my memories all in one spot.

I live in Seattle, WA (though I grew up in WI) with my husband, Matt, and two daughters. And we have a poodle-mix named Heidi. You won't see many pictures of her on my blog since she is shaggy and black and doesn't photograph well. I have been a stay-at-home mom for over six years. Last year I homeschooled my older daughter, but this year both of my kids are in school full time. I am still at a loss as to how this changes the identity of a stay-at-home mom.

I am always looking to meet new friends through blogging, especially those who are also mothers that enjoy strapping a pair of running shoes on their feet.
