My name is Alison Bickel, and I live in the heart of the midwest where, along with my husband, we raise our three boys. Whether it’s in the garden, the kitchen or tagging along on my boys’ latest adventure I like to look for the simple beauty in everyday from behind my lens. The photography bug bit me in sixth grade, upon getting my first camera, a Kodak Disk. I’ve been chasing light and subjects ever since. Here, on my blog, you’ll find tales of mothering, my passion for vegetarian cooking and obsession with farmer’s markets documented in pictures and words.
I hope you’ll find this place a common stop in your day. Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave comments…I love ‘em!
Alison

I LOVE what you are doing. Keep up the good work. My daughter in law is a photographer in Newberg Oregon I stumbled across your pg. on FB. I’m a fan and wish you all the best.
Thanks so much Kristen!
Hi – I get the Linden Drive references and as a mom constantly cooking for my 4 kids, I think we might overlap in some nice ways. Thanks for the lovely photos – hope spring finds you well!

(Italian: ho scoperto il tuo blog per caso, ho letto con il traduttore e anche se ho difficoltà con l’inglese, voglio manifestarti il mio passaggio, le tue pagine mi hanno trasmesso tanta semplicità, serenità e saper vivere con le cose semplici, adoro tutto questo)
Alison – I be a lot of people would love it if you came out with some sort of cookbook or something! I know I would buy it! All the food you have on here looks amazaing and delicious and if I wasn’t living on a college student’s budget, I would make more of it! Thank you for this website!
Thanks Amber! Maybe some day…a girl can dream, right?
Found your blog as I just joined the Food Matters Project. I’ve got two boys and while I live on the East Coast I am from the midwest. Looking forward to looking around your blog!
Sara, I’m glad you’re here. I love the Food Matters Project, I hope you will too!
