About Me

This is my 16th year authoring Hello Lovely. I was a Licensed Professional Counselor (M.Ed., LPC) working in education before writing professionally. More than 500 parenting and education pieces appear in 100+ print magazines. My favorite gig was as a humor columnist for a parenting magazine.

Loved these Silestone/Cosentino quartz counters!

I’m more scrappy than fancy, and we really are REAL LIFE renovators. We still do all the dusty DIY work we learned from being so poor from student loan debt (renovating since 1987!).

Peacefully Slower Post-Midlife Lifestyle

Personal reflections are shared about faith, aging, and living with chronic illness (autoimmune pancreatitis, Raynaud’s, Crohn’s, and BRCA+ genetic mutation). A previvor since 2013, I opted for a prophylactic mastectomy and hysterectomy to lower cancer risk.

Make Peace With Your Home

I have a fondness for European country inspired white interiors, and Hello Lovely began with a niche-y aesthetic for those things.

As the audience widened, I listened and now share timeless and tranquil beauty beyond my personal preferences. It’s the spice of life! Look at the diversity in nature!

In my spare time, find me writing music at the piano, baking, painting an abstract seascape, or reading.

Significance of Pointe Shoes?

This photo was my first blog header in 2010…a favorite I snapped of a ballerina I styled with my clothing and jewelry. While I collect dead pointe shoes and danced as a sugar plum fairy in 6th grade, I didn’t have what it takes to be a ballerina. Pointe shoes are for me a symbol of firece strength and beauty.
