welcome to the chino house! my name is alison chino and on this blog, i attempt to record the crazy things that go on in our house and in my mind and heart.

a few things i love: jesus, taido, cole, mary polly, ben, simon, my sweet sweet family, books, conversations about books, having a good meal with good friends, being outside, green, campfires, my camp chair, crisp mountain air, my zero degree sleeping bag, yoga, super fresh food, fresh bread (from my oven or boulevard bread company), planning the perfect meal (i like planning it even more than serving it), my kitchen, my mother’s kitchen, cast iron, clean surfaces, organized spaces with labels, research, school supplies, the library, my church, the park, the sound of kids laughing and playing outside…
