I'm Beth. I'm a desert baby (born in Phoenix, Arizona), who grew up on 40 acres of Pennsylvania farmland (in Williamsport, PA), who has spent oodles of time imagining an expatriate life in France, and who has happily made a home in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm still deciding what to be when I grow up, but so far I've discovered passions for teaching English, marketing for an ADD/ADHD clinic, and mothering a three-year-old who, I might as well say it, wins the cutest kid ever contest (as far as this mama's vote is concerned.) I'm grateful my little slice of life allows time for good books, long runs, home-cooked meals, heart-to-hearts with dear friends, and God's grace that covers it all. With coffee and chocolate close at hand, I keep track of all things bright and beautiful here at Belle Squeaks.
