I am the creator of the Eat Pray Wife blog. My plan for this blog is to connect women and families who can identify with words like "real" and "raw" when it comes to their life experiences. Through food, faith, and relationships, I believe we can make the world a little better. The Eat Pray Wife blog exists to show us how.
