Welcome, friend. If your to-do list is a mile long and you’re craving a slower, simpler rhythm at home, you’re in the right place. This is where faith, family, and homemaking come together to help you create a peaceful, intentional life.

Grab a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and let’s explore some ways I can support you on this crazy, beautiful journey.

Why I’m Here — and Why Substack

After 15+ years writing here and trying to connect on noisy social media platforms, I realized those spaces weren’t the right home for the kind of connection I want to build with you. Big tech made the rules, and bloggers often lost. So I’m trying something new!

Substack lets me send my words directly to your inbox — no distractions, no algorithms, no pressure. It’s a slower, more intentional space — just like Let It Be Lovely — where I’m sharing the heart of my present work:

  • Gentle encouragement for overwhelmed women seeking a peaceful home

  • Practical homemaking wisdom inspired by vintage traditions

  • Faith-filled hope for the messy, everyday moments

The blog will always be here — my cozy living room — but Substack is my current front porch. It’s the best place for the freshest letters, seasonal classes, future courses, exclusive printables, and real-time connection with others walking through similar seasons. A community you can truly interact with. Whooo hoo for you!

You’ll love it, I promise. Also, subscribing helps support my work. Thank you!
