About Me & the Team

GiGi Rena, Blogger

Hi I’m GiGi Rena a writer of stories as well as blogger of anything Italian, Food, Wine and Coffee. Ocassionally I get to pen some words for my next two novels.  After retiring from Real Estate and Construction I took up Freelance Article and Content Writing but decided blogging was far more fun and rewarding. 

When I’m not at my desk writing or by the pool when weather permits, you can find me eating, drinking coffee or wine (but mostly wine), reading or spending time with her two spoiled bulldogs Emmie and Sophie while working on my little slice of Italian heaven here in Idaho or binge watching movies with the hubs.

Sophie, (on the right) Security Officer. Most of the time Sophie is sleeping, snoring or sitting on the couch or barking and saving our office staff from; many Amazon, FedEx, UPS drivers or a goose.

Emmie, (on the left) The Office Drama Queen.  It doesn't look like it but if Emmie is awake she can throw a tantrum that would put any 2 year old to shame. But we still love her :)

 Brandi Rena, Photographer  

Well she is because I suck at pictures. What more can I say. And she loves taking photos of almost anything, even really early in the mornings (which most days I'm still in my pj's with my coffee).  

Yes, she does have the same middle name as I do (what a Ka-wink-i-dink). It just so happens I gave her that name (yes, this is my daughter).
