About me

Who am I?

I'm Rita a stay at home mother to a young boy in the midst of relocating to a far away land (Norway).
Before this sudden change in my situation, I was working and finding it hard to find time for my passions. I feel fortunate about this change, but have found a need to find myself again. This process of re-invention has made me reconnect with my many interests.

I'm a huge food enthusiast, I spend a lot of my time cooking and making up new dishes. Some are great and well loved, some are just too weird for my family. I was a GP by profession and my pet obsessions are nutrition, exercise and fitness. My philosophy is that everyone can have good, great tasting food while achieving their health goals.

Did I mention that I'm crazy about cake? I know it's possible to make the yummiest cakes beautiful too and I work at this any chance I get.

I'm a mother and I have spent countless hours reading parenting articles, books and blogs. When really racked with a question I hit the scientific literature in addition to the textbooks. I read every article I can get my hands on and often have hours of discussion on these articles with my husband. Hopefully, my "research" on these can help others too.

Also I'm a person and I use products. I've always googled up reviews to help me make buying decisions. Sometimes there were no reviews of the thing I wanted and imagined must exist. Sometimes there was. Hey! Maybe I shall fill the gaps.

I'm a writer and always have been. I mostly wrote for myself before finding all my time devoted to my career. Now that I need to find myself again, I have a great opportunity to pursue my writing dreams. ( my definition of writer is pretty wide, anyone who sits and writes something every day is a writer)
Like my written voice? Would you like me to write something for you?
