As a mom of two teenagers, two dogs, and a home that always seems to need something (or something redone or fixed), I know how easy it is to get swept up in the busyness of it all. Life comes at us fast—sometimes loud, sometimes messy, always full. But through it, I’ve learned how powerful it is to pause, to breathe, and to choose to make things just a little bit better, a little bit brighter.
This space is where I’ll share the things that have helped me do just that.
Simple solutions that actually save time. Small shifts that bring more ease into your day. Ideas that help your home feel beautiful, lived-in, and loved—not perfect, but perfectly yours.
One of the things I care most about is creating balance in the middle of the chaos. Whether it’s tweaking routines so they finally stick, refreshing a room so it feels like a breath of fresh air, or just finding moments of calm in the middle of a noisy day—I’ve picked up plenty of tips and tricks along the way, and I can’t wait to pass them along.
Life will always be full. But it can be full of joy. Full of beauty. Full of intention.
Let’s build that kind of life—together.

I have these beautiful roses on the side of my house. They love the hot sun they get in the afternoon and produce beautiful, bright blooms —but did you know you can keep those blooms coming all season long with a simple trick? It’s called deadheading, and it encourages your roses to keep producing flowers instead of turning spent blooms into seed pods (called hips).
Confession time. I was woefully unprepared for two dogs. I thought, how hard could it be? I'm already picking up poop from one dog. Funny, when I added the second child to the mix I don't recall it being this challenging. But 1+1 does not equal 2. However, there is so much love, joy, and laughter every day I would not change a thing. Is it work? Of course. Time? God yes. A major line item in the budget? YES.
If you’re reading this, welcome. Truly. I’m so glad you’re here.
