Mental Health
Hello! I’m Elizabeth (she/they). I find joy in sharing my experiences with mental health and having autism.
Parenthood
I’m a stay-at-home twin parent. I’m continuously growing and learning for my children. Writing helps me reflect on my experiences, feel less isolated as a parent, and share what I’ve learned along the way.
House Spouse
I’m a spouse that works from the house. From creating to advocacy, my home is my primary workspace. And I live on a rural farm, so it gets interesting. And I have some fascinating adventures and hobbies… so its nice to have a safe place to write about it all.

Deviled Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Kale a Sheet Pan Plan
It sounds crazy, but the culinary term “deviled” dates back to the 18th century.
