Welcome to [link-omitted], where real life is the test lab.
I’m a retired California transplant living on a mountain in Sandpoint, Idaho in a fixer-upper house with character, wildlife at the doorstep, and a 150-pound Bernese Mountain Dog named Bear who leaves dog hair everywhere. This is a real home, not a showroom, which makes it the perfect place for honest product reviews and storytelling that sticks.
I create engaging, humorous, and trustworthy content centered around home, lifestyle, crafting, pets, tech, and the everyday products that make life easier, prettier, or at least more entertaining. I craft, photograph, test, break, use, and live with the products I write about, then share them with an audience that values authenticity over hype.
If you’re a brand or business looking for relatable content, real-world testing, and writing that doesn’t sound like a sales pitch, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the mountain. Watch for dog hair. Let’s work together. ️
