About

Hello and Welcome to my journal!

Let me start by saying that I’m a rather complex woman so preparing a quick bio is quite the challenge. Until I can find the right words, let’s start with this:

I’m Southern and proud of it.

I greet folks with “Hey” because it’s a wonderful way to offer a hug without the embrace.

I’m an introvert, creative type, spouse to a Steelers fan, mother of an adult boy and a grown up girl and Gigi to the best grandson EVER.

I’m a home cook, a sign maker, an administrator, self-taught graphic designer, day dreamer, night dreamer, list maker, art enthusiast and recipe collector.

I’m your person if you’re seeking someone with patience and a good ear. I can also be awkward and super cautious about friendships.

Cupcakes & Sneakers is a life journal and prayerfully a place for sharing, growth and connecting. I write this in the midst of a unique period in time of social distancing and uncertainty of how we’ll navigate the world with each other afterwards. Hopefully this blog and others will help keep us virtually connected.

Thank you for visiting!

As I walked through the streets of Old San Juan, I paused to grab a bite from a couple cafes that I found online. Both @spiga_vsj and @caletacafe are perfectly intimate in size and the food was very good. Each left me wanting to stop in again the next time I visit PR.

What a special week in Puerto Rico! It was nice to be able to walk the streets of Old San Juan at a pace that allowed me to truly admire the city’s beautiful architecture along its narrow streets and alleys and on the secure side of ornate gates. 

The most meaningful aspect of this trip, however, was learning about @saccpr and the impactful work they’re doing on the island. Being able to tour Hope Lodge further emphasized the support and resources they provide to cancer patients and the ongoing need for these services.

The highlight of the weekend was the @saccpr Golden Grand Gala where they celebrated 50 years of saving lives. It was a blessing to simply be in the room, to hear the stories of survivors and to bear witness to the genuine care and commitment expressed by everyone who supports this cause.

If you plan on visiting PR soon, take your time and be intentional about appreciating the beauty of the island everywhere it exists.
