Why I’m writing on Substack
“Lovely Letters” is my gentle weekly newsletter, now hosted on Substack.
If you’ve been around a while—thank you. Truly.
You’ve walked with me through many seasons, and this space has grown right alongside us.
For over 15 years, I’ve written here about family, homemaking, imperfect faith, and hope for ordinary days—sharing both the mess and the meaning.
That part won’t change.
This blog will always be here, filled with practical help and honest encouragement whenever you need it.
But over on Substack, something a little different is happening.
What’s Substack—and why now?
Substack is a simple platform that lets me send encouragement directly to your inbox—without algorithms, pop-ups, or big tech control.
It’s my space, my words—and it makes it easier for you to find them without having to scroll or search.
For a long time, I felt like my words weren’t reaching the people they were meant for. Social media made meaningful connection feel… exhausting. So I’m trying something new.
And honestly? I’m really excited about it.
What You’ll Find on Substack
Whether you’re a long-time reader or just arriving here, Substack is where I now share the heart of Let It Be Lovely—quiet encouragement for overwhelmed women who long to create a home that feels like a sanctuary.
If you’re in a season where everything feels loud, fast, or too much… you’ll find something gentler here.
On Substack, you’ll discover:
-
Weekly essays that speak softly to the hard days
-
Domestic Dispatches — gentle, practical tips from vintage homemaking manuals and Titus 2-style mentorship
-
Encouragement for homemakers navigating overwhelm, motherhood, and meaningful routines
-
Faith-based reflections that draw you closer to peace, not perfection
-
Printable mini-guides for homekeeping rhythms, Sabbath prep, and seasonal refreshes
-
And a growing archive of grace-filled tools to help you embrace the life you already have (plus coaching in the future)
It’s still me. Still Let It Be Lovely.
Just offered in a slower, more intentional space where we can walk this road together—without pressure or pretense.
Why subscribe (even if you’ve followed me for years)?
After nearly two decades of sharing online, I know how easy it is for good things to get buried.
Substack lets me stay in touch—without relying on social media or hoping an algorithm favors our connection. It’s not random updates. It’s the same heart behind this blog—but with a clearer path between us.
Of course, the blog isn’t going anywhere. It’s still here for you.
But if you’re craving a rhythm of encouragement that feels like a friend who remembers where you left off?
That’s what Substack is for.
