Hi, I'm Taylor ...

Owner of a paper store and letterpress studio in Missoula, Montana. Mom of Oscar and Aquinnah. Wife of a handsome, plant-loving Luddite and doomsday prepper (Morgan). East coast transplant. Lover of large bodies of water. One-time poet. Pro-worrier. Creative schizophrenic with bouts hyper productivity followed by extreme lethargy. I love my family, nature, cooking (but not dinner), art & design, nerdy podcasts, giant hunks of cast iron (aka antique letterpresses) that are difficult to house, impossible to move, and could possibly kill me. I am a collector of hobbies and projects, most of which are never completed… this blog might be one of those.

As to the purpose of this blog. For today, it is primarily to describe my family's home-building experience. However, since no experience or action is unconnected to the rest of our lives, histories and preconditions, this blog might grow to explore other challenges and dreams.
