Hello internet friends!
Welcome to my little piece of the internet. The name of my blog reflects what I think describes me and my interests as a grad student, a baker, and a runner.
I am married to my best friend and basically a pretty awesome guy. We have two pretty cool little pups too.
I am a PhD student studying 19th century religion and gender in the U.S. with an emphasis on the history of children and childhood. I recently qualified to become a PhD candidate and am in the process of researching for my dissertation.
I am also a runner (check out my race results/schedule). I am a 2013 San Francisco Marathon Ambassador. Learn about this amazing race here. And I am a member of Santa Cruz Endurance. One of the goals of this blog is to share my running stories, which I hope help readers become motivated to get outside and run!

Thanks for visiting and happy blogging!



Hi Meg! I found you! Lets run together one of these days even though you are way faster me.
Oh I’m not that fast
You should come to my running club’s Whale to Whale on Sunday, it’s a 6 mile run from the Whale at the Long Marine Lab to the Whale at the Natural History Museum. It’s $10 and the proceeds go to the Baker/Butler Scholarship fund. Here’s the fb event: https://www.facebook.com/events/527829510603016/
That sounds so much fun but I’m gonna be out of town this weekend. Next time for sure!
