Welcome to Smiling Sage Life: Let’s Get to Know Each Other!

Hello, and welcome to Smiling Sage Life!

I’m thrilled you’re here. As a mom from the beautiful open prairies of North Dakota, I’ve decided to share my journey with you, and I couldn’t be more excited. This blog is a blend of everything I love—DIY home projects, creating cozy spaces, growing lush landscaping, diving into wellness, and always finding a reason to smile.

In this first post, I’d like to give you a little taste of what’s to come and invite you to join me on this adventure:

Here’s what you can expect:

• Home Sweet Home: I’m in the process of turning my builder-grade house into a cozy haven with various updates and fixes. From simple DIY projects that make a big difference to creative touches that reflect personal style, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and to pick up some tips from you, too!

• Green & Growing: I’m just starting to dip my toes into landscape gardening and green spaces. With a budding interest in permaculture and making my lawn look lush and inviting, I’ll share what I’m learning—and probably a funny story or two about my novice missteps along the way!

• Wellness & Wholeness: Health is about more than just eating right. I’ll dive into some recipes, wellness tips, and open up about navigating life’s challenges. We’re in this together, and I hope my experiences can offer some insight and support.

• Learning Together: I’m a lifelong learner, whether it’s through lifting weights, exploring psychology, or geeking out over new facts. Let’s learn and discover together, sharing what we find along the way.

• A Dash of Quirk: Life is too short for dull moments! Join me for some thrifting fun, exploring the quirky side of things, and soaking in the unique charm of North Dakota’s prairie landscape.

I’m genuinely excited to start this journey with you and see where it takes us. Feel free to jump into the conversation, share your own stories, or just say hello. Here’s to new beginnings and lots of smiles!
