About

My name is Juli Ryan. This is my website.


I was born in Ohio. I have lived in Chicago and San Francisco.

I married a Kiwi named Adam. Eight or nine years ago, Adam and I settled in New Zealand. Now Adam and I are separated. We have a seven-year-old son. On this blog I call him Seven.

Seven and I live in a quirky, seaside village (pop. 1,700). Seven is allergic to everything, so I've been known to post allergy-free recipes. But mostly I just ramble on about whatever is on my mind.

Unfortunately, I'm not being paid to endorse anything. Sometimes I make things up (apparently).

Follow me on Twitter.

You can find me on Facebook.

I also have a tumblr.
