Bonjour!

If you are looking for goodness, appreciate good food, are seeking to slow down your life and want to follow my journeys, I welcome you with open arms. If you are looking for a place to see the world with new eyes or a corner of the universe where life is kinder, join me. From my birth and childhood in Belgium through my years as an artisan baker in a small midwestern U.S. town, there are stories to tell, small details to observe. I write a weekly column that covers varied topics. I invite you to subscribe and follow along. If you want to support me in my writing, please sign up for a paying subscription. Thank you for reading!
