About

Oh hey!  

My name is Krista.  

This little blog has been around in some form or another since 2008.

It's my space to keep me accountable and inspired.

And I hope, if we're lucky, to inspire you a bit as well.

To showcase the heart-breaking beauty of the world,

acknowledge the humanity of us all,

and to create community to carry us through the hard times.  

I also want it to be a space to document my family and our adventures.

My daughter asked me the other day,

"where did you grow up, mama?".

I want to be able to show her where and how she grew up.

As for me, I had to tell her "all over".

I was born in North Carolina,

lived in Ohio, Florida, Chicago, South Carolina, and Georgia.

I went to college in Scotland.

I worked in an architecture firm in NYC.

I travelled around the world with my very best friend for 6 months 

visiting Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Morocco, South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Australian and New Zealand.

I moved to Burlington, Vermont for medical school and fell in love.

With Vermont.

And with my husband, a born and bred Vermonter.

I did my psychiatry residency here,

and so far,

we have two pretty adorable daughters.
