About

I’m a young mother of three, a wife, and a teacher of English for adults; it doesn’t necessarily go in that order.  We have built our family through birth and through transracial adoption from Ethiopia.  I read a lot about race, privilege, and culture to better inform my parenting, and I use this space to talk about that.  I fantasize about being a photographer one day and think my kids are gorgeous, so my kids get their pictures taken a lot and I sometimes post the results on my blog.  Ethiopian cuisine is the best food on the planet (in my humble opinion, of course), with the powerfully spicy and flavorful berbere playing a starring role, and I love to share the recipes that I’ve learned.  All of that is to say that this blog is mine, and I can’t promise that I’ll stay on topic.
