Hi! I’m Suzi, I’m excited you’re here. I’m a wife, mother, teacher and diy enthusiast. Following my husband’s military career, I have had the honor to line in and experience several cultures, communities and various lifestyles. I have also worked in a handful of industries, as I am a person of MANY hobbies and love learning.

I am passionate about creating joy and beauty for those around me, as I believe that this world needs a lot more love and light.

I want more than anything to be able to create a beautiful life that will allow him to stay home so we can raise our children together.

I want to do it by following my heart, doing what I love, and letting my light shine by sharing my journey, experience, and the lesson I’ve learned, in hopes to help you create a beautiful life for your loved ones as well.

The name Pearls and Pancakes arose form my passion to create resounding beauty (pearls)… while keeping up with the daily struggle and realities of life (messy, but delicious pancakes). LOL It is inspired by my journey and all the many different lessons along the way. Each place came with new challenges and goals to suit the needs of my family and the local community.

My latest adventure begins in the mountains, on the edge of a city, with the challenge of learning (from scratch) how to homestead and remodel a house, alongside the ever-changing requirements of raising my daughters.

I invite you to join me on my journey and want to know yours as well. I want to get to know you, how I can help you and I want to learn from you. I appreciate your support and encouragement through your emails and comments. Please share, subscribe and connect with me here and through Pinterest. Thank for being an important part of my journey!
