About Penelope

Hello! Welcome to the Oasis, the place I talk about a medley of topics, including happy marriages and fun mommyhood, beauty tutorials and fashion trends, my pursuits in becoming the ultimate domestic goddess here in New York City and lots more. Pull up a chair, have some coffee, and relax while you read…I love being the hostess!

I’m Penelope, a freelance writer and the work-at-home mom of two delicious bunchkins, as well as the wife of a brave man who is truly my hero. In a past life, I was a pharmacist and traveled the world, but as the cool James Faust once said, “A woman can have it all…sequentially.” I plan to have it all, and I’m at the mommy and wife stage in my travels through life (and enjoying every minute of it).

My loves:

* writing
* traveling
* photography
* healthy food and delicious recipes
* beauty tips and hair tutorials

If you love to read about adventures in parenting, healthy living, happy marriage tips, hairstyle tutorials, recipes, and general fun reading, you’ve come to the right place. My most recent hobby (read: obsession) is manual photography- I bought my first DSLR camera and am devouring every bit of information I can find to help me develop my new passion. Join me as I learn the basics of DSLR photography for beginners!

Thanks for stopping by- I hope you enjoy and come back often!

Feel free to share!
