I launched this blog in 2013 as a creative outlet alongside the small business I was building. What started as a simple desire to share the beautiful, ordinary details of everyday life has grown into something I'm genuinely proud of. Over a decade later, I'm still here, still showing up, and more passionate about this space than ever.

I'm a lifestyle and motherhood blogger, the founder of the Made by Motherhood podcast, and the co-founder of With Grace and Gold. I've appeared on Twin Cities Live twice as a lifestyle expert, and I've spent over 13 years building a platform rooted in one simple belief: that a beautiful, intentional life is available to all of us — not someday — but right now, in the middle of the everyday.


What you'll find here is a warm space for women who want to live well. Home content that makes everyday spaces feel calm and considered. Motherhood content that's honest and joyful. Travel guides from real experience, including everything we know and love about Minnesota and Midwest living. Home organization that actually sticks, seasonal living inspiration, and The Weekly Edit, a weekly series that I hope feels like a genuine conversation with a friend.

The small choices are the ones that matter most to me. How you start your morning. The flowers on the counter. The traditions you build with the people you love. I've been writing about those choices for over a decade, and I'm so glad you're here for it.
