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.
my go-to Baking supplies
Stainless Steel Baking Sheets
Cotton Apron
Sourdough Starter Kit
Kitchen Aid Mixer
A set of Stainless Steel Baking Sheet Tray Cooling Rack with Silicone Baking Mat Set, Cookie Pan with Cooling Rack!
Cross back cotton apron that has 2 big pockets and has been a life saver in the kitchen when baking this past year.
For those looking to start their sourdough journey, this is the perfect jar to mark the date and use the feeding band.
Tilt head kitchen aid mixer, I have used this for almost everything. From shredding chicken to baking to adding accessories like ice cream making, shredding cheese and more.
My Coffee Must Haves
This is where I keep all my favorite coffee essentials, the little things that make my daily coffee feel slow, cozy, and intentional. From syrups and tools to my go-to staples, everything here is what I actually use on my coffee station to create those at-home coffee shop moments I love.
my go-to Gardening supplies
Double Garden Boxes
Garden Tool Set
Indoor Seeding Greenhouse
Garden Tool Belt
A double garden box is one of my favorites, it gives me more space to grow while keeping everything organized, simple, and beautifully structured.
I have a handful of garden tools but this tool set came with all I could ever need in just one bag. It's what i immediately grab.
This indoor greenhouse helps me start my seeds indoors at the end of March here in Michigan when its impossible to get out in the garden.
My garden tool belt came in handy a lot last year, I used to keep putting things down and forgetting where I left them until I bought this!
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:
My go-To DIY Tools
Engraving Tool Kit
Paint Sprayer
Pink tool Kit Drill Set
Telescoping Ladder
Customizer Engraving Pen: Ultimate Cordless Portable Tool for Artists & DIYers - Engrave 50+ Surfaces - Beginner Friendly!
For bigger paint projects this paint sprayer has been a lifesaver and time saver overall.
Staring at the computer all day can hurt your eyes and the blue light glasses help prevent headaches and eye strain.
This ladder goes to 12.5ft in length and is helpful for the projects where you need to get up high or even low. Very steardy!
Seasonal Favorites
