Hey Friend! My name is Christy.  I am a wife, mom, nature/ landscape photographer, lover books & all things simple.

I was born and raised in a small mountain town in North Carolina. I grew up in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, where I was raised enjoying the outdoors and the simple things in life. 

After marrying my husband my world completely changed.. I become a military wife. I moved away from everything I knew and entered into the world full of stress and unknowns.

There have been some tough times that we have faced as a military family, but there have also been so many wonderful experiences and a lot of valuable things I have learned over the years. One of the many lessons was having the reminder of how it's truly the simple things that are the big things in life.

I’m by no means a fancy person, so to be completely honest this blog is not going to be the most polished in the world and that’s okay because that’s not me.

Think of this space less of a blog and more of a talk with a friend around the campfire… that’s when all the best conversations happen anyway (way more my speed).

I’ll be sharing a little of this and that but at the root of it all I hope to encourage and inspire you to embrace:


  • Intentional Home and Living

  • Simplicity

  • Life

  • The beauty around us


Pull up a chair, grab a cozy blanket and let’s chat!
