My Everyday Favorites

Life gets busy, so I stick to a few favorites that keep me inspired and organized, cookbooks for the kitchen, gardening tools I love, office must-haves, books and podcasts for my walks, and fitness essentials. I switch them up each season, but they always keep me focused and creative.

I'm a 32 -year-old creative living in Grand Rapids, Michigan

My passion for creativity and helping others has shaped me into a multifaceted entrepreneur.

I am the CEO/Founder of a West Michigan charity called Maguire’s Purpose, as well as a content creator, social media strategist, commercial photographer, and more.

This blog has become my space to share the projects I love, the lessons I’ve learned, and the inspiration I hope will encourage others along the way.

Go-To Cook Books

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into all things homesteading and baking, and my kitchen has been buzzing with inspiration. These are the cookbooks I keep reaching for again and again the ones with dog-eared pages, flour-dusted covers, and recipes I know by heart. They’ve been my companions for slow mornings, Sunday baking sessions, and learning new skills that make home feel even sweeter.

On my BookShelf

Reading is a big part of my morning routine. I spend 15 to 30 minutes every morning reading from my current book. Over the past year I have read over 30 books and my reading list is ever growing. I love a wide variety of genres. From mystery thrillers to self development books and everything in between. Here are my current favorites:
