Hey love, I'm Brenda.

I'm a Canadian girl living on acreage with my hubs, two boys, a tuxedo cat with a mustache, a spicy calico, and a Rottweiler who has been my shadow for seven years.

My living room is slowly becoming a jungle and I am completely at peace with that.

I'm a romance reader, a colouring book hoarder, a puzzle enthusiast, and a collector of what my brilliant friend Meryl calls delightables — the small, specific, ordinary things that fill you up when life has been quietly emptying you out.

I spent a long time putting myself last. A decade of health battles, miscarriages, school lunches, and everyone else's coffee made before my own. And one birthday morning I sat on my deck, looked around at my beautiful full life, and cried because I didn't recognize myself in it anymore

That was the beginning of finding my way back.

Now I spend my mornings in my gazebo with a coffee that's exactly right, a Kindle full of romance novels I have zero regrets about, and a blanket because Canadian mornings have opinions.

This little corner of the internet is where I share all of it. The reads. The cozy chaos. The delightables. The slow, messy, beautiful work of remembering who you are. I'm so glad you found me. 🍂
