Hi! My name is Michele and I'm from the DMV. I enjoy baking/cooking thanks to my family. It is a form of expression- a way to tell someone "I care," "celebrate," or "sit, relax, breathe." I make soup for sick friends and cuss out sketchy apartment ovens when they don't bake lemon bars evenly. At the suggestion of a good friend, I took up this blog as a means of sharing my adventures and to try new recipes.
I'm no food stylist. I'm on a budget. And I mess up at times.
The Name
"Sqrl" (Squirrel) is a nickname from college and I've never been able to shake it. Long story short- it comes from my animated, jumpy, and slightly shy nature. It was only fitting when my sister thought up Squirrels-n-Sweets. Thanks Zana!
Life
"There's that light that I forgot that I possessed." Just trying to piece life together and experience it to the fullest. My job doesn't match my personality- it's the typical white collar scene. People consider me artsy, I think I'm more of a space cadet.
Soft spot for all animals-you'll see me change direction in mid-stride if there's a dog across the street that 'needs' to be petted. Nature kid- green is good for the soul. Traveling- expand them horizons. Dancing- can't stop, won't stop. Books- I was a volunteer library aide in elementary school and haven't been able to put them down since. History- the best story you'll ever read and create. Psychology- what makes you tick, fascinates. Music- the universal bond. Video games- I'll smoke you in Smash Brothers. Zoom zoom- speeding is exhilarating. Creating... expression is a must.
Love
Familia. They're big and I adore them. They got my back and I can always count on them for sage words, a good laugh, or a smack upside the head. Te amo.
Filhos e filha. I am the proud mommy of 3 adorable cats. None of these cats are normal- their personalities are unique and amusing.
E amigos. The friends are currently all over the world accomplishing big things. I'm proud of all of you.
