About

Hi, I'm Melanie. I am a Christian, neurodivergent, a homemaker, a wife, and an animal and book lover. I majored in graphic design, web design and so I love to play with color as you'll see in my early posts about nail polish. I'm a life learner, so it is my hope this blog grows as I grow as an individual. I've had chronic pain the majority of my life and so I'm very interested in alternative health and fitness (dance, Tai Chi, Zumba, T-tapp, yoga.)

I've been a family historian since about 2007. Most of my focus has been on early American genealogy, as well as English, Scottish, German and Swiss genealogies as well as Huguenot and Scandinavian histories. I'm very interested in history and genetic genealogy. I contribute regularly to updating pages on Wikitree.com and also maintaining my tree on FamilySearch.org.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pets right now, aside from the snails in my small aquarium. I've kept African dwarf frogs for years and hope to get more next spring or summer. I've posted about our cat Winslow over the years, but he died in 2020... here's his picture in loving memory. He was the best and will be missed. Always.

I have reviewed items in the past but at this time, that's not my focus. However, if you'd like me to review something drop me an email and I will consider it :)
