About Me

My photo
I'm Shelly, a nature-worshipper, animal lover, mom, yogini, and adventure-seeker living in the great Northwest US! I share my life with an amazingly strong, kind man and a beautiful, compassionate and hilarious daughter. In 2009, we embarked on a new path of veganism, and are eating so many delicious, healthy foods, feeling great and finding the transition to be easy, exciting and fun! We also have the wanderlust! So this blog will include our journeys around the world!

Mom

I want to introduce you to my Mom, Sharyn. She means the world to me! 

She is my friend, and my confidant. She is so much fun to be around, so kind and a great listener! I feel I can tell her anything, and she is always there if I need to talk or just hang out. Mom loves my sister and I and her three grand kids more than anything in the world, and we are so blessed to have such a great little family. 

Lately, Mom and I spend a lot of our time just laughing with Jossy, my two-year-old daughter, and watching her antics. She really gets a kick out of her!  And Mom's laugh is so spontaneous and whole-hearted! It is so funny to watch Jossy copy her, throwing her head back in a loud "Ahhh Hahahaha!" 

We go on walks with the dogs, go visit Nana, or get together with the whole family for lively meals full of laughter and love. She's the one I call when I just want to chat or share something from my day.

Mom is an amateur photographer, a wonderful flower gardener, and she has turned her place into the cutest little house you have ever seen. She even put in a huge wrap-around brick patio by herself under her cherry tree. She loves the ocean, and has influenced everyone in the family in that aspect, we go to the beach whenever we can, and it's especially fun when we all go together on a vacation. 

I hope that I can grow into such an amazing woman, so giving and so fun. 

Thanks Mom for being you! I love you Mom
