I’m a Midwest girl with a heart set on living the European dream—one espresso, croissant, and sunset at a café at a time. Join me as I navigate the art of savoring life, from slow mornings to spontaneous adventures, while blending my Midwestern roots with the laid-back elegance of la dolce vita. Whether it’s finding the perfect Italian red, learning to appreciate simple pleasures, or infusing a little European flair into my everyday routine, I’m here to share my ups and downs trying to live a slower lifestyle while rooted in the states.

Welcome to my journey—living la dolce vita, Midwest-style.
