About AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Gloria. I’m a mom, a wife, and a woman who drinks her coffee cold more often than hot. I love writing about real life—the messy, funny, tiring, and good parts of it. Before I became the editor here, I was just a reader. This blog helped me feel understood when I was in a tough season. Now, I’m here to keep that feeling going for others. I believe in quiet mornings, handwritten lists, and meals that don’t take three hours to make. I write the way I talk: simple, honest, and with heart. If my words help even one person feel less alone, then I’m doing what I came here to do. You’ll find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, sneaking in a moment of calm during nap time, or typing with one hand while holding a baby with the other. Thanks for being here with me.
