Annie, Creator at Ciao Chow Bambina
Hi, I’m Annie. Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and the mama of two daughters and a son; a lover of nature and photography, long walks and short jogs. I’m an ardent reader, an unhurried writer, and a self-taught cook. The older I get, the more measured my steps, resulting in a life that is slow-lived and mindful – just the way I love it. I keep my eyes peeled for those moments, ordinary and extraordinary, that light me up. Quiet moments, stacks of books, a snow-covered trail, inspiring conversation, time with my loves, coffee in the morning, cinnamon tea before bed – I am here for it. All of it.
Upon retiring from education some years ago, the pull to pursue creative work could not be denied; and what began as a forum to collect favorite family recipes has turned into more. Ciao Chow Bambina is coming upon year twelve, and over the course of the past eleven, the blog has evolved. It’s a space that has nudged me beyond food and its beautiful bloggy accoutrement – which includes this incredible community of people – toward a love of creative writing.
So it is here, in my little corner of the interwebs, where you’ll continue to find cozy recipes and delicious photography…but also, as I advance my blogging journey, it’s a place where you’ll find more.
Food is just the beginning…
My sweet family, back in 2006, during our first trip to Roma!
A very special thank you to my dearest Dominick, and our three beautiful children – Lauren, Chelsea and Nicholas, for their help and support, spot-on-taste-tester skills and overall awesomeness!!!!
And to you…thank you for stopping by! You are the best!
