Hey there, and welcome to Nooks & Novels!
I started this little corner of the internet simply because I wanted to spend more time doing what I love — easier said than done, right? It actually took me a while (and a lot of coffee) to figure out how to balance being grateful for everything I had and still dream about a little more.

As a busy mom and full-time RN, I spent a lot of time feeling guilty for not soaking up every tiny, magical moment... all while craving something just for me outside of work and mom life.

That’s where Nooks & Novels was born — part passion project, part self-care, and 100% fueled by the idea that to be a better wife, mom, and human, I needed to carve out a little cozy space for my own interests.

It’s still a work in progress (aren’t we all?), but these days, I’m diving headfirst into mindfulness, gratitude, self-care, and maybe a little more "me time" with a good book in hand.

Here at Nooks & Novels, you’ll find a mix of everything that lights me up — books, reading, cozy spaces, design, nursing, family life, gratitude, and pretty much anything else that sparks a little joy at the moment.
My hope? That it brings a little spark of happiness to you too.

Thanks so much for popping by — and happy reading!
