A Little Bit of Everything I Love
With our kids grown, I’ve found myself with a little more room for the things I’ve always enjoyed- and a few new things I’m still figuring out. We spend a lot of time outside, work on projects around the house, fuss with the garden, enjoy lake life, and try to get away and explore somewhere new whenever we can.
The Blackberry House is where I share all of it: the places we go, what I’m creating at home, what I’m learning in this season of life, and the things I’m loving along the way. Some things work out beautifully. Some definitely do not. I’m sharing both.
I’m glad you’re here.
A few things about me


Shawn & Me
I married my college sweetheart, Shawn, and nearly three decades later, we’re still figuring out what adventure we’ll get into next.

Our Family
We raised two awesome kids, and some of our favorite memories have come from traveling and exploring new places together.

Our Pup
Our golden retriever, Bentley, is usually somewhere nearby- especially if there’s a garden project, a walk, or a good spot by the lake involved.
