the blogger
I’m so happy you’re here

I’m a wife and dog momma living on the coast of North Carolina! I’m a cancer, lover of all things cozy and seasonal, and an avid reader.

Whether I’m spending time at home with my husband and dogs, reading a good book, spending time at the beach, or doing some of my favorite cozy hobbies, I am happiest when I’m living my true homebody self.
