Sandra Rippetoe MA, RDN, LD is a poet, author of children’s books, registered dietitian nutritionist, former K-12 homeschool teacher, and photography hobbyist. Any nature-filled setting is a happy place for her and inspires her writing, but she finds a small forest especially endearing. Sandra loves a long uphill walk on a dirt path surrounded by trees. It should come as no surprise that she dreams of watching nature grow a forest on a bare piece of rolling land, and documenting the incredible transformation with photographs, stories, and poetry. Sandra lives in Kentucky with her husband and son.
