Hi! I’m Laura, and I am super excited that you are here. Let me start by telling you a few things about myself.
I am animal lover! My husband and I are parents to 5 furbabies. If you are thinking “wow, that sounds like a lot”, you would be right! We love them though, even on the days when they are difficult.
I am a Canadian ex-pat that is now living in Baltimore County, Maryland. Initially I moved to Richmond, Virginia (hence the RVA as part of Sift RVA).
I moved to the US when I met my husband, Josh,
(that is him, right over there. He is pretty handsome). We met through playing the game World of Warcraft!
My baking addiction started when I moved to the US and was not able to travel home and visit my family. My grandmother, Adele, was a trained baker, and I wanted to be just like her and make all the things that she made me back home. Also, to learn how to make them gluten free.


I love to travel. Thus far I have been to three continents and my favorite countries I have visited (aside from Canada, of course) were Italy and England. Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand are at the tops of my list.
I am a Ravenclaw! I love books, to study, and to learn. I hold my Master of Arts in Roman history and am a former teacher.
I like to meet new people and am always looking to do collaborations. Feel free to shoot me a line and say hello!
