A Coastal Grandmother freebie for you!

To extend the celebration of Tiny Joys: A Guide to Embracing Your Inner Coastal Grandmother’s publication (and since my own birthday is in just a couple days!), I've got a few coastal grandmother-themed freebies I'll be sharing this week! First up is a coastal grandmother digital wallpaper to decorate your phone, tablet, and computer! The pattern is created from some of my favorite illustrations in the book.

You can download the desktop wallpaper version here, and the mobile wallpaper version for tablets and phones here.

Make sure to check my blog tomorrow and Friday to see what the other freebies are! Tiny Joys is published by Andrews McMeel and is available wherever books are sold.

New book on the horizon!

I’ve been a little quiet around here lately while I try to soak up as much summer as possible, AND also because I’ve been busy working on a NEW book that’s all about finding joy in the simple and good things in life.

Equal parts activity book, inspirational guide, and gratitude journal, TINY JOYS is the newest addition to my universe of comfort and a celebration of all of the things we love about our daydreams of living on the coast: farmers market shopping lists, refreshing drink ideas, and suggestions for curating the perfect Sunday morning. Inspired by the breezy, luxuriously simple lifestyle of your favorite coastal grandmother—think Ina Garten or any 2000’s movie with Diane Keaton—TINY JOYS is perfect for learning to relax and celebrate the joys of a life lived slowly.

I’m so excited to be working again with my amazing publisher Andrews McMeel on this cozy and fun project! TINY JOYS will be out in 2023!
