Before starting this blog, I spent 10 years as a magazine publisher with a Fortune 500 company—first as a franchisee and later on the corporate team. It was an exciting, fast pace, and interesting  career where I got to work with so many inspiring small businesses and families in Oregon and Texas. I was able to make many dear friends and it helped me discover my love for sharing stories and learning about others. 

I’ve been married for 14 years, and together we’ve remodeled, built, and sold homes in Alaska, Oregon and Texas. After our second baby came along, I decided it was time to slow down and create something I’d always dreamed of—a lifestyle blog! Here, I share a MEDLEY of ideas on everything from making money, gift guides, home inspiration, to beauty hacks, motherhood, and even a few ‘hot-button’ societal issues.

I grew up in Oregon, lived in Alaska for a while, Texas, and now back in Alaska in the middle of building a personal home for ourselves. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll find something here that inspires you. Don’t be a stranger—reach out through the contact form if you’d like to connect!
