A New Year, A New Word: Elevate

There’s something powerful about the start of a new year. A fresh page. A deep breath. A quiet decision to do things differently—not perfectly, but intentionally.

As I step into this new year, I’ve chosen one word to guide me in everything I do:

Elevate.

This year, I’m committed to elevating every aspect of my life—my mindset, my health, my style, my routines, my creativity, and the way I show up for myself and my daughters. Not in a way that feels overwhelming or unrealistic, but in ways that feel aligned, joyful, and sustainable.

What “Elevate” Means to Me

Elevating doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means becoming more of who you already are.

It’s choosing nourishing foods that make you feel energized.
It’s moving your body in ways that feel good and strong.
It’s getting dressed with intention, even on the most ordinary days.
It’s exploring new places, trying new restaurants, and saying yes to adventure.
It’s creating routines that support your life instead of draining it.

This year is about raising the standard of my everyday life—and doing it with grace.

Why I’m Starting This Blog (and a YouTube Channel)

I’ve felt the pull to create for a long time, and this year I’m finally answering it.

This blog is a space where I’ll be sharing real life—exploring new restaurants and downtown experiences, hiking adventures here in the Pacific Northwest, home fitness workouts, whole food nutrition, and everyday style that feels elevated yet attainable. I want this to be a place that inspires you to romanticize your routines and find beauty in the everyday.

And because some moments are best shared in motion, I’m also so excited to be launching my YouTube channel, where I’ll take you along on all of our adventures—from local exploring to everyday life with my daughters.

Come Along for the Transformation

This year isn’t about overnight change—it’s about intentional growth. Small choices. Consistent effort. Letting go of what no longer serves and making room for what truly matters.

I’m inviting you to come along with me on this journey. To elevate your mindset, your routines, your health, your style, and your everyday life—right alongside me.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to be part of our community.
Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you never miss a post, and subscribe to our YouTube channel to follow along with all of our adventures, transformations, and everyday moments this year.

Here’s to a year of growth, movement, confidence, exploration, and transformation.

Welcome to the beginning.
This is the year we elevate—together.

About Me

Hello & Welcome!
I’m a mom raising my daughters in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where misty mornings, evergreen hikes, cozy downtowns, and good food are part of everyday life here in Washington.

This blog is a space where I share the things we genuinely love and live by. You’ll find us exploring new restaurants and local downtown experiences, heading out on hiking adventures that remind us to slow down and breathe, and fitting in home fitness workouts that work for real life. I’m also passionate about whole food nutrition—keeping things simple, nourishing, and sustainable without the overwhelm.

Style is another big part of our everyday life. I believe getting dressed should feel effortless and confident, whether you’re running errands, heading out for coffee, or exploring the city. I love elevating everyday outfits with wearable, affordable pieces, and you can shop all of our looks through our Amazon storefront, where I share my favorite finds that fit busy, on-the-go lifestyles.

We also love sharing our experiences beyond the blog—be sure to check out our YouTube channel, where we bring you along on all of our adventures, from local exploring and hikes to everyday life moments with the girls.

More than anything, this blog is about finding joy in the everyday—moving your body, fueling it well, exploring your surroundings, and showing up as your best self while doing it. I hope what you find here inspires you to try something new, feel good in your routines, and create moments you love right where you are.

Thanks so much for being here—I’m so glad you found us.
