Hi and thanks for stopping by! Come on in and meet my family.
My name is Helen

This is me.
and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I live her with my amazing husband Dennis
and our three rescue cats, Boudicca, Bilbo, and Monk (aka Monkey).
We love to hunt mushrooms,
camp, and
cook for friends. Dennis takes recipes and modifies them, I like to just go wild and create. I am also a photographer dabbling in the art while I enjoy the beauty of my surroundings (yes, I have yet another blog for this too).
I love to hike and kayak,
and spend time with my brother
And my sister (she doesn’t like her picture on the internet).
I have six grandkids (most live out-of-state so I don’t get to spend time with them). Siena, Michael and Ashton live in Texas. Alexa is in Washington. Brayden is in Kansas. And Jeremiah is close enough to see him often!
And Jeremiah is here in Oregon, so I get to see him often!

Jer and Grandpa at Jer’s graduation from the National Guard Youth Challenge Program -over the moon proud!
I work full-time as a child care center director and am a Master training in early childhood education.

This is my training business…
Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.
