Hiya! I am Leah

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m thrilled to share a bit about myself, beyond the recipes and home decor tips you’ll find here.

A Bit of Background:

I’ve lived a life fueled by wanderlust, thanks to my upbringing as a military brat. From the tranquil plains of Grand Forks, North Dakota, to the vibrant streets of Michigan and the cultural immersion of Turkey, my childhood was a tapestry of diverse experiences. Finally, my journey led me to the picturesque landscapes of Colorado Springs, where I met my sweetheart in middle school. Fast forward two decades, and we’re still going strong, navigating life’s twists and turns together.

The Kitchen Chronicles:

My culinary adventures began with my grandmother, a kitchen maven who could whip up feasts that brought our family together. She taught me that food is more than sustenance—it’s a universal language that bridges cultures and generations. When life threw me a curveball with food allergies in my teens, I found solace in the kitchen, where cooking became my creative outlet and stress reliever. To this day, you’ll find me dancing around the kitchen, whipping up meals while belting out my favorite tunes.

Life in a Small Town:

These days, I call a cozy town on the Colorado-Kansas border home. It’s a far cry from the hustle and bustle of city life, but it’s where my heart feels most at peace. My husband’s career as a wind turbine mechanic has taken us on a whirlwind journey across various states, ultimately leading us to this serene small town. Here, I’ve learned to savor life’s simple pleasures, appreciate the beauty of agriculture, and relish the joy of slowing down. City traffic? No thanks—I’ll take the quiet charm of small-town living any day.

Family, Faith, and Fortitude:

Motherhood has been my greatest adventure yet, with two incredible kiddos who light up my world. My eldest, once faced with daunting health challenges, now thrives at 12 years old. Her diagnosis of high-functioning autism at the age of 5 brought new challenges and perspectives on parenting, but it also strengthened our family bonds and taught us the power of resilience. Amidst the storms of life, we’ve forged traditions like Pizza Fridays—a weekly celebration of overcoming obstacles and cherishing moments together.

Unconventional Self-Care:

In a world obsessed with lavish spa days and elaborate self-care routines, I’m a firm believer in finding joy in life’s simple pleasures. For me, self-care is about relishing a morning shower, savoring three square meals a day, and stealing moments to read a chapter before bed. While pampering sessions may be few and far between, I find solace in keeping up with my kids on the track or everyday life and leisurely walks with our three beloved dogs at sunset. True self-care, to me, lies in embracing the everyday moments that nourish the soul and bring joy to the heart.

Unveiling the Life’s Feasts Journey

Here at Life’s Feasts, we’re all about embracing the creative process. With a range of food sensitivities, I’ve discovered joy in experimenting with different flavors and repurposing dishes—a testament to my kitchen as a haven for creativity.

Balancing life’s demands? It’s a journey I’m still navigating. Days are a whirlwind, often ending late into the night only to begin anew before dawn. Instead of striving for perfect balance, I’ve learned to integrate my blog into the chaos of everyday life, sharing genuine experiences and struggles that shape my journey.

I love sharing two kinds of recipes—slow Sunday meals that simmer while I enjoy family time and quick dishes for busy weekdays. Whether it’s a cozy stew for game night or a simple dinner after a long day, my goal is to inspire meals that fit seamlessly into everyday life.

Looking ahead, my vision for Life’s Feasts goes beyond a mere blog—it’s a community. I envision a space where families can find support, discover delectable recipes, and embark on home improvement projects together. Moreover, I hope to share the invaluable life lessons I’ve gleaned from navigating common struggles, fostering connections that transcend the digital realm.

So, welcome to Life’s Feasts—where every moment is an opportunity to savor the joys of family, food, and home.
