I'm Heather!

I am a handshake gal, so consider this my *handshake* to you virtually. I live in the state of 10,000 lakes known as Minnesota with my husband Aaron and our two kiddos, Brooklyn and Beau. I grew up living on the lake, and most of my fond memories are of ending the day with a fire, sitting on a chair lakeside, and having the best conversations. That is the inspiration behind the name of this blog. I believe time is best spent when outdoors; farmer's markets inspire me, books are my addiction, and time with my loved ones around a table with good food and laughs fills my cup every time.

When I was eight, you could have found me putting pieces of stories together in my room. Somewhere along the way, the pen and paper got away from me. My heart has always been drawn to the act of writing. As a stay-at-home mama, there are many opportunities to hear that voice in your head. There is enough time to feel the pins and pangs in your gut telling you to revisit something you once loved so much that captures you enough to make you feel like you are flowing.

So, here I am, listening to that intuition.
