About me.

Welcome to my blog! I’m Tricia, a mom and teacher who has faced significant loss and challenges in recent years. Since 2018, I’ve endured the passing of my grandmother, my mother, my father, the loss of much of my home to a flood, and the death of my dog.

I created this blog to candidly discuss the complexities of grief—the good, the bad, and the ugly. I aim to share my insights and experiences as I navigate the process of rebuilding my life and home after these profound losses. Through my new kitchen, I hope to embark on a healing journey by cooking and sharing family recipes. Perhaps in this process, I’ll discover a deeper connection to my loved ones and rediscover that comforting feeling of home.
