a simpler way of life

South Pond Home

Welcome to South Pond Home, the overarching umbrella for everything I do. I love to write, to decorate, organize stuff, cook and create a warm space for my family and for friends and play pickleball! And, after more than 12 years running a successful event based business, South Pond Farms, I now spend my time writing, creating recipes and helping others navigate life and business. 

Thank you for following along.

After over 10+ years sharing my stories here on my website, I have moved over to Substack where I can share regular newsletters right to your inbox with new recipes, ideas about decorating, tips and strategies for your small business and stories about life and navigating that next important stage of our lives and finding purpose.
