It has taken me way too long to hit publish on this first post. You’d think it would come easily after years of blogging, but the hardest part of any new beginning is often just getting started.
For anyone new, hi, I’m Olivia. I’m a 41 year old mom of three, living in the Midwest. I’m what you might call an “old school” blogger, and I spent the early part of my blogging career sharing style and life through long form posts with lots of photos (something I hope to bring here). After some time away, it feels really good to be back in a space like this again.
Life has changed a lot over the past few years. We moved back to the Midwest from NYC, grew our family and most recently, settled into a new home. Somewhere in the middle of it all, I realized I needed to step away from social media for a bit. There were a few reasons for that, and I hope to share more of it in the near future. But mostly, I just wanted to slow down, be more present with my family and give myself space and time to figure out what this next chapter of life looked like. And it ended up being exactly what I needed.
During that time away, I realized how much I missed sharing the everyday moments. Nothing big, but those small moments that make me feel excited to connect with others. As much as I love Instagram Stories, sometimes it doesn’t feel quite right for certain things to live there, especially when people are just quickly flipping through. I’ve learned that some moments deserve a little more space and a place where I can slow down and explain more about what’s happening in life.
That’s what this space is going to be. A slower, more personal place to share what’s happening, from style, home projects, family, favorite finds, simple recipes, and all the other little joys that are making this season of life feel so full. I’m thinking of it as a journal I get to share online.
If you’ve been here before, thank you for coming along for another chapter. If you’re new, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope this becomes a space you look forward to returning to.
Here’s what to expect
I will be posting a few times throughout the week to start, with a mix of free and paid content. Free posts will include style inspiration, life updates, favorite finds, and personal writings.
For paid subscribers, I will be sharing a bit more on personal topics, along with sharing:
Curated product roundups, styling ideas, outfit collages
Exclusive shopping guides, wishlists, and seasonal finds
I am especially excited to share more behind-the-scenes looks at home projects, style, and family life as this space grows.
If you loved my original blog or ever shopped through my finds on Instagram, TikTok, or LTK, this will just feel like more of that, but a little deeper and a little more personal.

xo, Olivia
So excited for this!!
