This blog is about living a beautiful life. Life Abundant . . . full of all the beautiful things that make life worth the effort.
The Setting: An old beach cottage near Lake Michigan and a country house in the foothills of North Carolina.
The Plot: A love story written by God . . . Two 30-something professionals who sold their big house in suburbia and left their corporate jobs to follow God on the path to life abundant . . . now self-employed and home-based and the parents of two darling babes, we split our time between our old beach cottage in the summers and a historic fixer-upper in the North Carolina countryside. Yes, that is two small children and 2 fixer-uppers!
The Content: Personal journal of a Christ-follower, mother, hobbyist photographer & interior designer. Photos, recipes, & design ideas to celebrate the good stuff in life.

I’m new here and would love to read your story through your suggested posts, but all the links in your about page are broken. Probably collateral damage from your renovations
Hey Sherry! Thank you so much for letting me know, I believe they are fixed now! And yes, collateral damage from the big move!
So glad you are here!
Hi Erin, I am new here also. I found your site from The Lettered Cottage. I am off to read your story. We have also just bought a fixer upper beach house. We are 7 miles to the beach but it is a lot closer than our previous 700 mile trip.
Hi Erin. Found you the other day through The Lettered Cottage. Love your style of writing, your pictures, and your way of living. I think I’ll become a follower and let the inspiration rub off on me.
Hi Erin! I’m here from the Lettered Cottage, too. I am amazed that we “share” someone in common besides Layla… Amanda and Nate of Turtle Pond! I gasped when I saw their old logo on your beautiful photo. They took our wedding photos six years ago and we just loved them. Your story is beautiful and I can’t wait to keep up with your progress on the Beach Cottage. I grew up in Indiana, but am originally from Michigan, too.
Take care!
Hi Erin,
I am visiting from TLC. Love your blog and can’t wait to continue reading. We live ‘Up North’ here in Michigan and I completely love your cottage ideas!!
