I’m Heather, the creator and author behind Chaos & Spanish Moss.

If NASA comes knocking on my door the answer is “NO!”) and I was attacked by a viscous, albeit toothless dog circa 1984. I believe this attack was the impetus to a very fortunate yet, somewhat chaotic life.

I am thrilled you are here and welcome to the chaos.
