About Me
My Background
I grew up in Salt Lake City, UT the only girl with 4 brothers. I was right in the middle. I loved the change of seasons and the many things we did as kids with each. I have fond memories of camping, kick the can, fox and geese, and sledding...just to name a few. I attended the U of U but had too many dreams to stay focused. I have lived in New York, Northern California, Chicago, and Southern California in my journey so far. Full circle, I'm back in Utah with my husband. I would love for my next venture to be living in Europe part-time
My Hobbies
I love where we live because I can walk out my door and start a mini hike. Which is one of my hobbies. Golf is another favorite. I'm working on oil painting and perhaps piano
My Favorite Things
I'm constantly working on my favorite things and they differ based on what journey I am on. I hope to share with you what brings me joy.
Meet Pamela (a.k.a. Binkelbug)
Hi, I’m Pamela Zirbel — but growing up my nickname was Binkelbug. I’ve carried that playful spirit with me, and now I’m creating a space to share stories, laughter, and inspiration.
Binkelbug is more than a nickname — it’s a reminder to look for joy, even in life’s challenges. Whether I’m sipping coffee with my mom, laughing at being bald, or cheering on my granddaughter, this is where I share the journey.
