About

Hello! I’m Elizabeth but you can also call me Beth! I have been blogging in this corner of the internet since my senior year of college in 2010. Over the years, I’ve written hundreds of blogs and taken thousands of photos. I can only hope that I have grown overtime!! The truth is that I am very proud of this space that I have nurtured for over a decade – even though some of my early posts make me cringe!

I married my husband Bruce in 2012 and we welcomed Hilde into our family in 2018, Millie in 2020, & Thorin in 2022! Together we take nearly all the photos on the blog (and Megan always takes our family photos!!) and spend our days with this lively crew!

We live in Colorado and often share (or at least photograph) our favorite places where we live! We value experiences over things, so we enjoy the gift of travel (as much as we can as a family of 5 with young kiddos!) and have frequently found ourselves at Disney. Homeschooling and parenting are the big things around here these days – as well as sharing our Faith as that impacts everything we do. AND if you like those home shows, we moved into a fixer upper and have been slowly making it our own since we bought it in 2019 – sometimes I get room updates posted! I’ve got posts about Blogging & Business as well as Photography and also a fun series called “Ask Elizabeth” where I answer YOUR questions! I also send out a monthly newsletter with new posts and other musings – join the list to stay in touch!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are you a Christian?

Yes! I am a Christian and it is a huge part of who I am! I believe that God sent His son to die for me, even though I am so unworthy, because He loves me. My desire is to encourage, love, and share Him with the world because in Him there is hope! I value life at every stage and I know the Lord has dreams and plans for YOU.

You are so sweet! While I would love to sit down with everyone and chat about their blog, I don’t have the time to! I do have a Blogging + Business category on my blog with has lots of tips and advice from over the years.
