I’m a small-town southern Illinois wife & mama with big dreams! I’m on a mission to serve women who want to live happier lives with their families & furbabies. (YES, dogs are children too!)

I'm Laura.

Hey, new friend!

My first website was a pet information site. When I turned 17, I started blogging. Yep, that's right, I'm an OG blogger - ya know, the ones that blogged about their daily life happenings?! Yes, I still have my original Blogger account and no, none of that is featured here. ;)

It hasn't always been pretty though.

In fact, just a few years ago you could have found me sitting on my couch at 2AM, as an anxious and depressed single mama. Long story short... at the age of 28, after A LOT of work I took back my mental health and now I'm creating the life I've always wanted - one step at a time.

Today you can find me snuggled up in our cozy home on a cul-de-sac with my husband and our Siberian Husky, Sassy, as she forces her way between us on the couch.

My creative journey started over 15 years ago when I was designing logos and websites and blogging from my bedroom. 

Our blended family consists of me, Michael, our two sons (ages 11 and 7), and Sassy the Siberian Husky. Michael and I are travel-obsessed and we love sharing all our favorite finds with you on the blog. As a family, we love to walk Sassy, watch movies, play board games, go hiking, and play video games (where my Fortnite lovers at?!). In my spare time (lol), I’m either cooking up a tasty meal (from Pioneer Woman or Magnolia Table), tackling an endless mountain of laundry, or Swiffering up Husky glitter.

It's the women who love a good personal development podcast, call their dogs their fur children, and love a good margarita who typically vibe with me!

My ultimate goal is to be a work-from-home dog mama and I won't stop until it's my reality. I love designing pretty graphics and websites that help small biz owners take their biz to the next level!
