What’s for Dessert?
Oh, hi! I’m Kim
WRITER + BLOGGER, cook, travel planner, mahjong & Pickleball enthusiast
Welcome to Living My Second Act! I’m Kim and I live in Kentucky celebrating life with my husband, Dale. We are empty nesters with two twenty-something children and our cocker spaniel babies, Goose & Maverick.
I just love to travel, cook, and entertain so I share recipes from the family recipe box and give you some entertaining ideas from fun gatherings I have enjoyed hosting! I’m always seeking to celebrate the day with a fun outing, great recipe, or pretty flowers!
