I am a musician, the mother of two sons, happily married and living contentedly in beautiful Iowa. My degree in music therapy is from The University of Iowa.
My professional interests include traditional Irish music, original folk music, recreational music making, theatre, and neurodiversity advocacy. My youngest son is autistic and my music therapy internship featured work in autism so my interests are both personal and professional.
I have a number of performance projects always in the works but you can most often catch me playing Irish traditional music in Coppers & Brass and folk-rock in The Soft and Low.
I began blogging in 2007 when I was pregnant with my youngest son. The blog has been a way for me to track our homeschooling journey and my various projects and meanderings.
Parenting and homeschooling takes a lot of my time but I am privileged to be an actively performing musician and a music teacher.
