About Me

Donna logo

Originally from the woods of rural Maine, I’ve spent time in Boston, MA, Durham, NC, and Washington, DC before landing with my husband in the Bay Area where we are busy raising our two energetic little boys while working full-time day jobs. I created this blog to share with you all the things I love: writing, adventure, photography, activism, and finding time for creativity as a busy working mom. We all struggle to find balance, and this blog is my way of sharing with you how I find mine.
