Hi there, I’m Nancy!
I’m the writer, travel junkie, and photographer behind this little corner of the internet. My journey started way back as a journalist and scriptwriter.
Yep, before social media took over the world!
In between, I spent eight years working in a long-term care facility as part of a nursing healthcare team—an experience that shaped me in so many ways.
I started journaling and ‘weblogging’ back in 2002 during the Fortunecity, LiveJournal, and Xanga days and then niche blogging in 2007, and wow, what a ride it’s been!
Watching this space evolve and learning to grow with it has been incredible. And now, I get to do what I love full-time—writing, developing recipes, creating content for brands, and snapping photos to share with all of you.
Oh, and I recently added “cookbook author” to my resume—so excited to keep writing more!
I split my time between Windsor, Ontario (aka Rose City) and Detroit, Michigan.
A few things I’m obsessed with: books, candles, all things rustic, boho, and mid-century modern, and—of course—anything pretty. You’ll also find me hunting for vintage treasures because I love antiquing (new props for content? Yes, please!).
Random Fact About Me: If you offer me the spiciest chicken wings, I will not refuse. It’s my kryptonite! Throw in a Coke Zero, and I’m a happy girl.
