I write what I learn from making mistakes and then trying again to do better. I write to try to make sense of the world and what is inside my own head. I write because I love questions and I love searching for answers.

I am the mother of four children renovating a home with my husband in the mountains of Utah. I love learning about economics, philosophy, business, science, and everything else. I believe in Jesus Christ, in families, and that there is always hope.
