Mother, dreamer of faraway places and restaurant owner.

For the past two and a half years, I’ve been greeting customers at our restaurant in Southwestern Minnesota.  Ten years ago when we were living in the Philadelphia suburbs, and I was building a business as a leadership coach, I wouldn’t have imagined living this life.

However, owning a small business with the one you love is a great choice for two people who like to be together.  It allows us the flexibility to dream, learn and travel.

I don’t spend much time cooking in the kitchen, but I love to hang out there in the early morning with my cup of tea.  It is a great place to find my husband, Steve, he’s usually baking bread, which we serve at our restaurant.  He is a learning to be a chef, but he is a  farmer at heart.  So far, we have a small lettuce patch, a few recently planted fruit trees and lots of ideas for one day serving what we grow at our restaurant.
