i'm haley!

goodness gracious,
it's nice to meet you!

Beyond living intentionally, focusing on God's purpose for me, and trying to be patient wife & mama - I'm a bit everywhere! You might  I talk 100 miles per hour. I love being an amateur at-home barista, and I'm border line obsessed with golden retrievers. My husband and I live in rural Southern Illinois with our kids Beckham and Amelia. We have one daughter in Heaven, Lucy. 

You can typically find me busting out my cheesy dance moves, attempting to get a laugh out of my kiddo, or planning our next adventure.

Hey there, I'm Haley Nicole, and I'm so excited to share bits and pieces of my daily life, businesses, and faith with you. From an early age, I have been a go-getter, self motivated, and competitive. Over the past few years, I've started to realize living a slower, more intentional life can be more fulfilling than I ever could've imagined. I'm thrilled that you're here - and that you too are interested in the idea that *more* doesn't always mean *better.* 

i've chased "busy" and decided it wasn't who i wanted to be. now, i'm here.

welcome to my crazy.

The leader, Doctor of Physical Therapy, go-to for cheesy dad jokes, lover of disc golf, enjoys all types of food - especially odd sandwiches, & can make a playlist for any occasion.
