This blog is where I go beyond the t-shirts, mugs, and tote bags and just… talk. Sometimes it’s lighthearted. Sometimes it’s messy. Always honest.

Everything about this brand comes from an authentic part of me — the corny parts, the snarky parts, the good days, the days I cancel plans because standing sounds like a terrible idea. This is where I share what’s on my mind: behind-the-scenes glimpses, reflections on living with chronic illness, things that made me laugh (or cry), and maybe some stuff that just doesn’t belong anywhere else.

My mission — with this blog, the shop, and everything I create — is to help people living with chronic illness or disability feel a little more seen, a little more connected, and maybe even find some levity in the chaos.
