My name is Mary Margaret Ripley. I am a mother and a wife. I work full time but my passions are my family, home, garden and what I call my “Professional Domestic” life. I blog about my gardening escapades, my baking and cooking adventures and my love of all things vintage. I am a semi-retired professional baker and artist. I hope you enjoy my blog and learn a little something along the way that you can use in your own life.
A wholesome lifestyle blog where it's autumn all year round.
