Hey guys
My name is Hope!
I’m a wife and dog momma living on the beautiful coast of North Carolina!
I love anything in a floral pattern, good books, slow Sundays, music, true crime, Halloween, sports, and being at home (among many other things).
I also live in T-shirts and leggings/bike shorts when I’m not working, would eat nachos every day if I could, and have watched Gilmore Girls and Stranger Things more times than I can count.
If you’re a homebody, an introvert, a reader, and a lover of being seasonal and cozy, then you’re in the right place!
About the Blog
How it All Started
If you’ve been around for a while, then you know that I started blogging on and off around 2014. Since then I’ve went through a few rebrands, a few content shifts, and a few moves.
And while doing this all throughout my early to mid-twenties, I never felt like I had ever truly found myself as a blogger. I kept putting myself into boxes that other bloggers were in, and I honestly feel like that is why I went through so many rebrands.
Fast forward to my later-twenties, and the pandemic shutdown happened. I spent a lot of time focusing on me (and a lot of time connecting with others), and what I loved.
During that time I learned that I am neurodivergent and that I am happiest when I am leaning into things that I love. For me, that meant really diving into a cozy, seasonal, homebody lifestyle. Doing so helps me stay grounded and able to pour from a full cup more.
I also rekindled my love for reading and other cozy hobbies! Here on the blog, you’ll see content about books, living a homebody lifestyle, seasonal living, and self-care.
I’ll even be chatting about some other things like wellness, my favorite gluten-free products, and so much more! This is a safe space for introverted people of all types!
