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.

We all struggle to find balance, and this blog is my way of sharing with you how I find mine.
