Welcome!
I’m a thinker when it comes to buying stuff—borderline minimalist, really. I believe in owning only what truly adds value to my life. However, when an item checks all the boxes—functionality, texture, style, fit, and comfort—I fall in love and can’t wait to tell you all about it.

FAQs
Why did you start this blog? Everywhere we look, social media feeds are flooded with ads, and it’s overwhelming. I created this blog to cut through the noise and bring you my tried-and-true favorites—honest recommendations that make life simpler, more beautiful, and clutter-free.
Where you from? Grew up in Wisconsin. Still a lover of a cold beer. Phoenix has been my home for over half my life now. It’s home.
Husband and kids? Yes! We celebrated our 20 year anniversary in June of 2024. 3 kids ranging from college age to middle school.
Perimenopause/Menopose hit? Yes indeed! I turned 50 in August 2024 and this new stage is something else!
Mantra? To enjoy every day and truly live, whether it’s a simple day spent at home or a bucket list travel destination. Life is meant for living, no matter where my feet are planted.
What challenges you? Letting go. I love my little nest with all my kids here. But the nest is changing and when they are away worry sets in. Learning to trust our separate paths is hard, but I’m finding new ways to show them love from afar.
Can we chat? Yes! Reply to my “5 Finds” email and let me get to know you better! I share a bit of my personal side in each issue, and I’d love to hear about you too.
