Welcome! I am the bayou gypsy, born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Although I have spread my wings in the great cities of Austin, Seattle and Delray Beach, the bayou state kept calling me back home in 2007. Thank goodness for the pull back home because that is where I met and married my husband, Andrew.
We relocated to 7 acres in Zachary, LA and have started life on a farm. It's the land of bayous, fishing, hunting, four wheelers, trucks, nutria, deer, cows, three rescue pups named Abby James, Dixie and Gypsy, two rescue horses named Sparkle and Freedom, 20 chickens, 2 turkeys named Leroy & Luann and everything else southern.
I have started this personal blog to chronicle our new found farm life, the battles and blessings of our ongoing infertility, our recent adoption and the exciting adventures this bayou gypsy and her cowboy get into on the regular. I dabble in a little bit of everything and will share it all with you one wild ride at a time.
Come wander with me...y'all!

I was reminded by a former high school classmate we attended our SJA Mother Daughter luncheon at this same hotel many moons ago. What a change in pace – sweet luncheons to heavy discussions about infertility. […]
Today marks the day that I’m officially stepping out of the closet…the infertility closet. It’s a subject that isn’t always the most comfortable to talk about but I finally feel strong enough to share our story (with Andrew’s consent, of course) and where we are in the journey for children. There’s a lot of vulnerability […]
Alright, I figured I would have posted pictures of our home since staining the ENTIRE THING but farm life is a busy life. I couldn’t find the time with all the ongoing projects and I was really hoping we would be completely finished with the staining project before taking final photos but I can’t hold out on you any […]
Since moving to Zachary, me and my cowboy make the short 30 minute drive down Hwy 61 to St. Francisville for church on Sunday, a little bit of good food and a simple day in a sweet town quite often. When my older sister stayed for a weekend at the farm recently, I knew exactly where to bring […]
