About

o·li·o  (l-) n.  A mixture or medley; a hodgepodge.

One dark, lonely Omaha winter while my husband was deployed overseas, I started this blog to give myself something to think about other than my career in marketing and how bad I felt for our dog (who refused to go out in the snow).  Over the past few years the blog has meandered with the general variations of life: my obsession with food and cooking, travel, pretty things, tough things, sentimental things and now a brand new adventure complete with a baby and a new home in the United Kingdom.

Here I hope to share the wonder of this new life, as an American living abroad, as someone who has been reluctant to call herself an “Air Force wife” or a “stay at home mom” even though those phrases are now much more correct than “young professional” or “nerd”. As such, you can be sure that hilarity will ensue, hopefully with plenty of loveliness (and certainly with plenty of food) along the way.

You can reach me by email at wanderlynnb [at] gmail [dot] com, if you fancy a chat.

Cheers, y’all!
