A little welcome note

I live two lives. In the first, I’m a singer, songwriter, educator, and mom who advocates for music education for every child. It’s a wonderful and fulfilling life: I get to make music with the best artists in the world. I get to see new places, meet wonderful people, and get big hugs from kids every time I conduct workshops in schools. If you know me, you probably know a little bit about this life.   

But what you don’t know is that I have a second life. In that life, I want nothing more than to lie in bed and read with my cats, even if they don’t always want to read with me. I unwind by building Lego sets and no longer tell people they’re for my daughter. I struggle to keep my coffee intake to a socially acceptable amount. I try to live a clutter-free and minimalistic life while also juggling at least three unnecessary items in my online cart.    

This blog is a glimpse into my second life. It’s a space for me to share what I’m currently reading, the Lego set I’m currently building, and how my cats sassed me today. Whether you’re looking for book recommendations or just want to sympathize with me as I try to make my bed while my cats think of it as a giant party in some bouncy sheets – I got you covered.   

Welcome.
