Welcome to my blog!
Hi friends! I am so glad you’re here. Let’s take it back in time a bit. More than a decade ago I started a blog. I was living alone, in a brand new city (Knoxville!) and the blog was a place I shared recipes, crafts and my thoughts on life. It was a creative outlet to write beyond the news I covered on TV. Of course life happened and I let it fall away and disappear into the internet (I can’t imagine how comical it would be to find those old posts).
I moved on to sharing those thoughts and passions on social media. But every year I would put “restart my blog” on my list of New Year’s resolutions. I decided 2025 was the year to finally cross it off the list.
So here we are! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Let’s talk about what you’ll find here.

My love for St. Louis
At it’s core, this is a place for me to share my love of my hometown. Born and raised in St. Louis, it wasn’t until I moved back that I re-discovered a love for this Midwestern city. Now, I love helping others realize why it’s such a great place to explore, visit and raise a family. On Instagram and TikTok, I love sharing my favorite restaurants, events and family-friendly spots. But I often a crave a place to share a bit more information, plus a space that some social media company can’t yank away in an instant. This is one place where you can find my favorite spots to eat out with kids, my top breakfast burritos and the best events to mark on your calender.

Real life motherhood
My world changed the minute I became a mom. It sounds corny but it truly had a much larger impact on my wants and desires than I expected. It’s what spurred my decision to go part-time as a TV news reporter and I absolutley love the extra time it allows me with my two boys. But it’s still HARD. Motherhood is the best but it is also really tough. I hope I can share the good, the bad and the things that make it easier. Plus I always love to showcase how you can still enjoy all those things you loved before you became a parent.

From travel guides and mom hacks to behind the scenes as a part-time reporter, podcast host and parent, this is a place for all it. Storytelling and sharing my love for community is what inspired my career as a journalist. This is an another place for me to share some of that. Want to see something? Let me know!
