Hey there, I’m Amanda!
I’m a former physical therapist turned stay-at-home mom who discovered that my real happy place lies where design, DIY, and travel collide.
This little corner of the internet is my playground for all three:
-
Travel magic: Smart tips for unforgettable getaways and insider advice for hosts who want five-star stays. I used to manage a Milwaukee-area Airbnb with nearly 100 glowing reviews (but recently sold the property due to moving out of the area. I’m hopeful to get a new AirBnB soon!)
-
Design & DIY inspiration: From quick weekend projects to full-blown renovations. We’re about to move into a brand-new build, and I’m so excited to share how we’ll turn builder-grade into warm & cozy.
Life behind the blog is busy but so so fun! I’m mom to one-year-old Chloe, and dog-mom to Huck, our lovable Goldendoodle. My husband Troy—account manager for a battery company by day, Mr. Fix It by night—keeps our projects (mostly) on schedule.
When I’m not DIY-ing or planning trips, you’ll find me running, reading, cooking, soaking up the outdoors, or learning skills just for the fun of it (current new hobby that I’m trying to learn: sewing).
Whether you’re here for travel tips, home inspiration, or a peek into our next adventure, I hope you leave with fresh ideas and a spark to create something wonderful of your own. No matter what you’re here for, hopefully you find what you’re looking for 🙂 Welcome to the fun!
