Welcome, I'm Cheyenne!

Writer | Widow | Mother

Hi, I’m a coffee-loving, red-wine-sipping mama of two, navigating life in Texas with faith, grace, and a lot of spontaneous dance parties. After losing my incredible husband, I’m learning to find strength in the little things and joy in everyday moments. This blog is where I share my love for vintage finds, home decor, DIYs, books, and the beautifully messy journey of motherhood and widowhood. My hope? To inspire you to create a home filled with love, laughter, and grace.

🍂 If you've been thinking, “I really want to read 🍂 If you've been thinking, “I really want to read more this fall,” but somehow keep ending up scrolling instead…same. 😂 📚
So I made a little something to help.
The Cozy Reading Starter Kit is a FREE 4-page printable with:
📖 An autumn reading challenge
☕️ A cozy reading ritual
🍂 An autumn TBR tracker
Nothing complicated. Just a little invitation to put the phone down, pick up a book, and savor the season.

Coffee. Something sweet. A cozy blanket. And a good book waiting for me.
Basically, everything I want autumn to feel like. 🤎
I’ve been wanting to create something that would make it easier to read more, scroll less, and actually savor the season, so I made A Season of Stories: The Cozy Autumn Reading Guide.
It’s 45 pages of cozy reading inspiration, seasonal rituals, and books to get lost in—all designed to help you make a little more room for reading this fall. 📚🍁
It’s available now in my Etsy shop as a printable + digital PDF.
If you're ready for a little more reading and a little less scrolling this autumn…come take a peek. ☕️📖
