About Me & The Blog...

*This blog began in 2009 and was revived and given much life and energy after the birth of my daughter Baby M.


I was born on an enchanted island at the shores of the Caribbean Sea...  
Where I weaved seashells and starfish into my hair.
Dreaming of mermaids, pirates and Undines. 
I played under the hot sun close to the equator and underneath 
many waterfalls for most of my childhood... 
I danced to African drumbeats underneath the moonlit skies... 
Under the rain forest canopy I fell in love for the first time.


Now, I live where the sun rises on the coast of Georgia.
Because the ocean is a part of me and who I am... 
Close to the horizon I wish to be. 

I document my daily life combining two of my hobbies which are writing and photography.


My family and the characters of this blog are my husband Casey (Cake) and 3 children: Ms. M (tween), Baby M (baby) and Jyra (21). We have 2 pets  which will make appearances every now and then. The dog Merlin (RIP) is a very wildly odd size Bichon Frise and our rescued cat Shadow.


I use too many of (...) and make no apologies. 

I was a homeless teen, I became a teen bride and subsequently a teen mom. After losing my kid brother on December the 7th of 2010 to diabetes and kidney failure I began a journey which I hope you embark with me. I am healing and searching for happiness and all the sweet things this life has to offer.

My interests are as diverse as my family. Photography, painting, sewing, cooking, music, writing, flamenco, gardening, yoga, poetry. 

Love entertaining, celebrating and try to treat everyday as a new adventure and holiday... Yes, I am one of those.


All I want to do is waste time with my family and friends. 

To follow the photo that started... no...reignited my passion for photography. 


And the last image my kid brother saw me fall in love with...
