About Me

Bay Area — away 12 years — back to the Bay Area. Had a lot of various adventures regardless where I was, but one thing was constant as soon as I was an “adult” – the periodic regret of making online (and sometimes in-person) purchases because liquid courage filled me with confidence to get past the add-to-cart process and onto completing that check-out process.

Gin and Pretzels – variations of a couple things I enjoy together – drinks and food. Gin & Tonic is one of my favorite drinks, and Pretzels just taste way better with some liquids. This blog is for me to ramble about random things I’ve purchased, so not much of an intro to the items, and more of just diving into my thoughts. Other things may include some baking and food adventures too.

Enjoy!

What I do

Mochi’s Parent

Mochi is a maltese mix dog. She’s about 75% maltese and 25% poodle, so a maltipoo. Mochi drags me to chase random animals (cats and turkeys are her fave!) outside, and she has a crazy personality. So full of love.

Work & Hobbies

I love baking and trying out new restaurants and new foods. I’ve worked at a French bakery before college, but have been working in the Accounting/Billing/Finance department of law firms after college. 

Family

Met the husband during my senior year in college (not college related), and in 2 year increments – had our daughter, had our son, got married (courthouse, no wedding/celebration), got our Mochi.
