About Me

A little about me:
My name is Maggie High. I'm a California native, born and raised on an almond ranch. I spent my childhood raising animals for 4-H, playing little league, gardening with my mom, learning to sew and embroider, climbing hay stacks with my cousins, and loving every second of it. I went down to sunny San Diego State for college where I majored in International Business. It was an amazing experience to be away from home and study abroad in France and with the amazing Semester At Sea program. I learned much more in college than I ever dreamed I would. I am so thankful for all the experiences I had. San Diego is also where I met my husband, Spencer. We were married in May 2011 and are now living in South Korea teaching English to children.

A little about the blog:
I first started this blog while sitting in a cubicle. It was my escape. My way to remember all the beautiful and wonderful things in this world. I would start to get sad about the amount of paperwork I had to process and then I'd remember Anne Frank's quote: "Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." So that is what I did. I started looking for beautiful things, interesting concepts in design, or cool things and I'd blog about them. I'd like to think this is a space for sharing and discovering new things/ideas, for savoring the beauty in a sunset, and discovering the vastness of your mind. However, sometimes it's just about how cute a dress is! :)
 

A little about the name:
The name "A Spoonful of Sugar" comes from one of my all time favorite movies, Mary Poppins. For me, it means that with a little bit of goodness we can get through anything we need to. Sometimes, we have to take medicine but just a little bit of happiness will help us get past it and will ultimately make us better. At the beginning this blog was the sugar to my tiresome desk job. Now, A Spoonful of Sugar is there to remind me to enjoy and celebrate the beautiful things in life. It's also inspiration to create even more beauty in this world.
