Hi, I’m Leslie! A wife, a mother, and a missionary/expat. I started blogging back in 2005 after moving to Haiti, as an attempt to process the daily craziness that was now my life. That first blog eventually became a new blog, Rollings In Haiti, when I became part of a “we”. Over the years it became harder and harder to just write about Haiti. All the things that seemed so abnormal or noteworthy at first, have become part of my normal now. Life changes and grows, and it felt like it was time to have some space to reflect that, so leslierolling.com was born.

Over the years of blogging I’ve realized that most often I write for myself, and the whole process feeds my heart. Some days just getting it out helps me process. Call it cheap therapy if you want, I’m okay with that!

I love to cook and really love to feed people. I build things with wood. I knit. I write things. I’m a soap maker. I’m learning how to garden in the tropics. I get my craft on occasionally. Basically I always need to be learning or creating something to feel settled. It would be too hard to focus on any one of these things, so I’m not going to. You’re going to get it all here, because it’s all part of me.
