life . home . doodle .

Making a home, chasing dreams, and always tripping over a Doodle. Wife since 1989, mom since 1992, mom-in-law since 2020, and Mimi since 2022. Through every season of life, one thing has stayed the same: a loyal dog by my side.

Once I fell in love with Goldendoodles, I became a serious devotee of these lovable teddy bear dogs.

That’s why I decided to start writing about life with my dogs and help fellow Doodlers provide the best life for their dogs. I also like to share the most practical and stylish finds for our own lives too! It’s my passion project at this stage of life—a culmination of the things I’ve loved and learned over many years.

In one way or another, I’ve spent my life writing and designing. These passions have shaped me, and I’m grateful that I’ve been able to combine my writing and graphic design skills from my early career into what I do today.

All of this has helped me carve a path, follow my curiosities, and create new things. I’m also thrilled to share my children’s book that I wrote and illustrated, along with my Doodle Dog designs that have been so much fun to create.
