ABOUT ME

I'm Hannah, a London-born, California girl and mama of two, Henry (7) and Vivienne (4). Despite the chaos I think they're most amazing little humans in the world (they're also the reason I love wine so much!). My husband, Wiley, is my soul mate and the lead singer of the band Chevy Metal. My life is all about keeping the kids happy, the house tidy, and myself looking and feeling good. I'm starting this blog as a visual diary of my life and the things I love – family, food, fashion and travel. Recently we have relocated to Northern California to a tiny town of 50 people called Eagleville to live out our country living, homeschool fantasy together as a family.
