Hello! I’m Rayanne—Glad you’re here.

Welcome! Hi, I’m a small-town Wisconsin mom sharing the beauty of everyday life from our 520-square-foot home near the lakeshore. Most days you’ll find me chasing a toddler, cuddling my almost-one-year-old, reading stacks of picture books, or piecing together moments of calm in between the chaos.

Life here is simple—but full. Not perfect. Not always tidy. But it’s ours.

I come from a background in marketing and have spent years helping brands and creatives tell their stories. But this space is a little more personal. These days, I’m drawn to slower rhythms, deeper connections, and using those same skills to support the people and places that make our community feel like home.

You’ll find me chatting about reflections on slow living and motherhood… to favorite recipes, cozy routines, and community spotlights on locals who are doing meaningful work. I believe there’s value in slowing down, shopping small, and getting to know your neighbors. So whether I’m recommending a book (check your library first!) or highlighting a favorite stop in town (like Yardstick Books or Caffe Tlazo), it all comes back to building a life—and a community—filled with what matters most.

I’m not here to tell you how to do it all. I’m just showing up—sharing what’s working for us, what’s inspiring me lately, and hopefully offering encouragement for your own journey, one small step at a time.

A few of my favorite things right now:

• Library runs with my toddler
• Fresh bread with butter
• Hot tea with a little homemade lemonade
• Morning light peeking through the windows
• Supporting small businesses doing good work

Thanks for being here. I hope this space feels like a cozy corner of the internet—somewhere you can exhale, feel encouraged, and maybe even find a new favorite thing.
