Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Easy Lunch | Cucumber Avocado Bowl
When I transitioned from a work-full-time-in-the-office-job to a full-time-wfh job, I pulled my toddler son from daycare and keep him with me full-time now, too. So, yeah. All of that together makes for one busy mama. For some reason, one area I tend to struggle is...
Cheap Date Idea: Penne a la Betsy
Here's the thing: date nights can get unnecessarily expensive. Think about it: the booze, the appetizers, the entrees, dessert. And that's just dinner. I don't know about you, but we're saving to buy a house. I cry over my dollar bills when I exchange them for a glass of wine more expensive than...
The Marry Mask: DIY Face Mask fo Acne & Scarring
Things I didn't think I'd have to deal with anymore once I became an adult: drama curfews acne Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong. Drama knows know age limit. Cool. I was put under curfew mere weeks ago thanks to the Charlotte Protests. I still have acne. At thirty freaking years old. I honestly...
Easy & Delicious Dinner: Ritz Cracker Chicken
Okay, if I'm being totally honest, I'm in a food rut 99.9% of the time. I have a slight addiction to eating out. And I also tend to toe the line of hangry before I finally start to make any food decisions. That's not a recipe for success I tell you. I don't necessarily mind cooking, but like I...
Where to find me!
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by. Over the next few weeks, you'll notice some significant changes happening around here. This site will be transitioning into my official author website (fancy smancy, huh)?! If you're here looking for blog content, you've gotten a little turned around....
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
