Cookies and Clogs Family TerriAnn Frans Munchkin Speckles


    The Story Behind The Name

    TerriAnn is Chinese and Frans is Dutch. So, to encompass their family’s uniqueness, they decided to use ‘Cookies & Clogs’ as a brand name. Let’s just say that it flowed much better than ‘Chopsticks & Tulips’.

    The Authors

    TerriAnn is the primary author of Cookies & Clogs. She shares her take on raising an 11-year-old daughter, homeschooling, being a first-time dog owner, and family travel experiences. You will also find first-hand reviews, special content for those living in and/or visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, and much more.

    Frans is the other half of Cookies & Clogs. Born and raised in the Netherlands, he has a broad and unique take on living in the U.S. and raising a family here. He provides a ‘dad’ point-of-view on techie stuff and surviving a house full of estrogen. He also takes care of the IT and backend stuff.
