HI, I'M MELISSA!

I am a 28-year-old freelance writer, living in Chicago with my husband, Scott.

My mission with this blog is to share things that inspire me, write down my thoughts without worrying about being polished and perfect, and hopefully encourage other people to create or try new things along the way.

Thanks for visiting! Please comment or become a follower if you like what you read!

I want to find inspiration in the everyday - home, fashion, beauty, books, food, prayer, family, friends.

I want to challenge myself to put thoughts into words and turn ideas into images.

Rough drafts don't have to be perfect but they start with a spark of inspiration - and they can inspire as they evolve.
