G'day!


My name is Sandii. My "United Nations" family has origins in Australia, USA, and Guatemala.

Have you ever been asked "If you could do anything in life and money was no concern, what would you do?" I've never been able to answer that question but recently I read that whatever you do when you are procrastinating is probably what you should be doing. Hmmm ...

Things I like to do (most when procrastinating) include; photography, photo editing, digital scrapbooking, raising chickens, growing vegetables & gardening in general, organizing things (objects, not events), cooking & baking, homesteading, preserving food, fellowship with my church family, reading about any of the aforementioned things, travelling, caving, family bike rides, use power tools, and recycling/repurposing whatever I can. I also love to sing, especially worship songs!

A couple things I am sure about:
  • I love God, my husband, and my kids. 
  • I want the best for my family. 
  • I am an introvert; an extrovert out of necessity. 
  • I am a borderline helicopter parent. 
  • I often speak before I think, and offer advice before it is sought.
  • I can count to ten in five languages; beyond twenty in three of them!
For those we know and love in the farther reaches of this planet; hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to introduce my family to you in person :) Until then, get to know us through this journal of our family adventures ...

Thanks for reading! God bless,

S.
