I’m Sonia Ruyts.  Writer, entrepreneur, and tattooed tv-loving mama of 2.

I am a former pastry chef turned stay at home mama turned writer and creative entrepreneur.  I have a passion for experiencing new things, taking risks, and figuring out what’s at the heart of the story.

As a lifelong maker and doer,  I love empowering others on their creative explorations. On this blog you will read about writing, creativity, self-care, parenting, and a little bit of a lot of things from my real life.

My wife and I live in Western Oregon with our two small children.  We are learning the ropes of this full life together, and enjoying the ups and downs of the everyday.  When I’m not writing, I can be found in the tub reading, baking cookies, playing in the garden, wrangling kids/cats/dogs or daydreaming about my next travel adventure.
