Firstly, I’m so grateful you’re here!
Hi, I’m Rachael!
I’m the thought and feeling behind this blog and my intention here is to share with you what it is that lights me up throughout my days. What it is that keeps me creative, inspired and supports my own personal growth during this season of life.
I was born and raised in New Plymouth, New Zealand. A coastal city on the west coast of the north island. I have not stepped foot on that ground in over a decade and although my heart longs for “home” I have found a sense of comfort in trusting that “home” is wherever I lay my hat, wherever I am with my husband and my children.
I have been living in the Sea to Sky, British Columbia since 2009 and now, in October of 2024 as I write this, that time here, is nearing an end as my husband, children, dog, three cats and I prepare to move across the world to Perth, Australia for the foreseeable future.
I have long had a passion for health and nutrition and since having children that passion has only grown. Making food from scratch has become a part of my daily life that I’m proud of. It makes me happy knowing my family are fed nutritious, well rounded, tasty meals. I’m a huge bread LOVER too! Sourdough is my jam! So, you’ll find plenty of sourdough recipes popping up here as time passes. I’m an avid gardener, my desire is to one day grow 100% of our families fruit and vegetable needs, maybe even raise our own meat one day too! I am a yogi, my whole heart resides within the four corners of my yoga mat and I thank the universe I found this practice because it is the one thing I can always, whole heartedly depend on. Hari OM!
The seasons remind us that nothing ever stays the same, that all things change. This everlasting change gives me hope for the future. I love this life, I’m so grateful for it and once again, Im so grateful for you, the reader, thank you for being here to share this journey with me xo
