Why, hello
If you’re navigating a full, noisy, beautiful life too, you’re in good company. I’m a working mama of two small children who adores reading, cares deeply about personal growth, and takes my job as cat mom very seriously. Between a full-time workload and parenting two littles, downtime is scarce around here, but I believe I can still parent purposefully, love intentionally, and savor the good gifts God has given me.
If you’re someone who wants to show up well for the people in your life, read all the good books, set thoughtful goals, and abide in God’s love for you, you’re in the right place.
I hope to use this space to remember these precious years, untangle my thoughts on the meaningful and the mundane, and do it all communally, with you. It can feel lonely in the trenches, but so many of us are juggling the same responsibilities and trying our best to love our families well.
Pull up a chair. I’m glad you’re here.
I married the man of my dreams July 2017. We are currently sharing adventures together in Oklahoma City, OK. We met in England ten years before we wed, and our story is about as romantic as you could imagine.
Our first furrbaby Reggie joined the family April 2019 and he quickly became the center of our home life. Since then we’ve had a constant stream of foster cats and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed.
Our first human child joined the family in 2022 and is a delightful fire-pistol that keeps us on our toes and always laughing. Our next human baby joined us in 2025 and he is warmth made visible, like a golden retriever just happy to be here.

If you love becoming the best version of yourself, rethinking old ideas that aren’t working for you anymore, learning from people with great experience, making life pretty, and all around seeking out a meaningful and simple life, then you’re in the right place.
“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.”
-Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale
