hello….

For the first time since moving into this old 1905 farmhouse (11 years ago), I’ve started shifting things around a little differently - not just tidying or rearranging for the sake of it, but with real intention. I’m letting go of what I no longer need (piles of clothes for Goodwill, pieces of furniture for friends) deep cleaning neglected corners, and slowly shaping the space into the cozy, dreamy farmhouse I always imagined it could be.

It’s minimally furnished, but warm and lived-in. The kind of cozy that invites you to pour another cup of coffee and stay a while.

The windows have all been cleaned. This was a pain in the ass for sure, but was a nice distraction while I was going through all my emotions and feelings the last several months. Since you can actually see through them now, they have been open most days, letting in the breeze and all that natural light. With the fresh air has come some new greenery. I got a few hard-to-kill plants, with a label stating “perfect for beginners” - ha! Fingers crossed I don’t kill ‘em because I like having them in the bedroom. If you’ve got any beginner-friendly plant suggestions that can survive a farm girl with more dirt on her boots than in her planters, please share away!

I know I’ve said it before, but this time feels different. I think I’m really starting to come back to myself. More grounded, more present, more me than I’ve felt in a long time. And with that comes the urge to share again, to show up here more often. I have been putting in the work on myself. I have been sitting in my feelings. I have also found comfort in this next leg of my life. 

I’m looking forward to summer: lake days, poolside hangs, long hikes with my sweet Reece, and plenty of snuggles with my little Poptart. Once the busiest part of summer travel winds down - which means my side hustle slows down - I’ll be carving out some real, intentional time just for me and the dogs - no rushing, no overbooking, just space to breathe and be.

Thanks for sticking around, even during the quiet seasons. I will be back soon enough…. I have been rearranging so many things in the house and I will be sharing soon!
