Welcome to The Piedmont List!

I’m Rachel, a devoted mother to a spirited 7-year-old daughter and a wife to the love of my life; we’ve shared 19 wonderful years together. Our journey began in the vibrant city of Miami, Florida, and has led us to the serene landscapes of North Carolina’s Piedmont region, where we now reside on a picturesque mountainside.

The Piedmont List is born from our family’s adventures and my personal passions. As an enthusiast of wooden toys, I’ve immersed myself in the community, cherishing the creativity and joy that open-ended play brings to children. This experience has inspired me to expand our horizons and share more facets of our life with you.

Our mission at The Piedmont List is to:

– Encourage open-ended play: Fostering creativity and imagination in children through unstructured, exploratory activities.

– Support fellow novice preppers: Sharing our journey and providing accessible guidance to help individuals prepare for unexpected events with confidence.

– Highlight beautiful and practical living: Showcasing items and ideas that bring joy and functionality to everyday life.

We approach these topics with a lighthearted and approachable tone, ensuring our content is both informative and enjoyable for our community.

Through The Piedmont List, I aim to bring the same zest and enthusiasm that fueled my involvement in the wooden toy community to these new endeavors. Whether you’re seeking inspiration for imaginative play, embarking on the path of preparedness, or looking to infuse beauty and practicality into your daily routine, we’re here to journey alongside you.

Join us as we explore, learn, and celebrate the simple joys of life in the Piedmont and beyond. Welcome to our community!
