Who We Are

Our viewership has greatly increased and I wanted to give you all an idea of who is behind this blog!

This blog is run by my husband and I (he does maintenance while I am the one who posts mostly). We are the PROUD parents of our sweet daughter, Marigold. My husband (we will call him PKU Dad) grew up in Rochester, N.Y. and I grew up on the coast of Maine. I absolutely LOVE the coast of Maine, and he was drawn to it too after visiting in high school. So, we both decided to study marine biology in university, which is where we met! We are both very environmentally conscious, I am a vegan and my husband is a vegetarian (woohoo! Only took 3 years of convincing). I guess people would say we're a little hippyish, granola, crunchy... whatever you want to call it, we love this beautiful Earth and we want it to stay beautiful! We are a young couple who love adventures, and meeting new people.  I have become a stay at home mommy, for now, while I teach Marigold her PKU diet and how important it is. After she starts school I either hope to finish my degree in marine biology or continue my work in the special education field. Marigold will likely be our only child, due to a mixture of me wondering how the heck I could ever share my love with anyone else, and the expenses that come with PKU. Basically, we are happy, fun, Earth-loving hippies who wish they were mermaids (okay maybe that is just me, not him).

I'll part you with this image of the symbol I have tattooed on my back, an Asase Ye Duru, which represents the divinity of Mother Earth.
