About Me

My photo
Kendra Jeanne
I am a Canadian momma, currently living in Zambia as a missionary. I started this blog almost 10 years ago when I was still a university student. I am a mom of two rambunctious boys and I love to cook, garden and sew. My kitchen is one of my favourite places in the whole world! I'm a frugalista at heart, have a teapot collection and need to be surrounded by plants - these plants are becoming fewer and fewer as baby becomes more mobile. I especially love and find meaning in my work as an Occupational Therapist at a small school for disabled children.
