L.R. Smolarek

L.R. Smolarek and her husband are self-proclaimed gypsies. Their caravan, a 24 foot RV with two kayaks hanging off the back is home for a good portion of the year. In the company of two very spoiled little dogs, they travel across the country, coming to rest in the Adirondacks, along the beaches of Florida or hiking the canyons and mountains of the west. But for winter, home is a cabin, once her grandfather's sugar shack tucked in the woods of New York. Her writing has appeared in Country Living Magazine, National PTA and for eight years she wrote a monthly column called Nature's Corner for a regional family magazine where she drew on her experiences as a naturalist encouraging families to spend more time learning and exploring the great outdoors.
