I am Moving. Please visit me at www.thewritemama.com to find out about our latest adventures.
Half Baked Banana Bread started with my dream of having a family. We struggled with infertility; then in a strange twist of fate, I had complications due to HELLP Syndrome during my pregnancy and our precious baby was born premature. I began blogging to work through this journey. My son is now a happy, healthy, four-year-old, and these days I love writing about the joys and challenges of parenting and everyday life. Thanks for stopping by! - Lori
