The Face Behind the Blog

I’m Danielle. Not Dani, not Danelle, definitely not Daniel. Born and raised in southwest Iowa and now living in Nebraska, I’ve spent my entire life in the midwest. I’m married to my best friend, Luke, and we have three children: Ryder (16), Rigley (14), and Lila (5).

I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder as a child and have had my fair share of inner battles. After a near-death experience in 2020 I decided to no longer let my anxiety set limitations on my life. Since 2022 I have faced my biggest fear of flying, traveled to other parts of the country, and cruised to Mexico numerous times.

I’ve worked in healthcare since I was 16 years old and in 2014 I graduated nursing school and began working as an LPN. I’ve also worked as a self-taught photographer since 2012.

I’m an open book, a chronic oversharer, and always wear my heart on my sleeve. I love babies + animals, street tacos + margs, and the Buffalo Bills. I cry over everything, say way too many cuss words, and can’t live without caffeine.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you’ll hang around.
