About The Dog-Eared Pages
Welcome to The Dog-Eared Pages—a space for families like ours who are choosing to live with intention, curiosity, and connection.
We’re not experts or influencers—we’re just a family learning to show up for each other, one day (and one dog-eared idea) at a time.
This blog is our way of dusting off the pages we once folded over—the hobbies, adventures, and dreams we meant to come back to when life slowed down. Only life never really does. So now, we’re choosing to make time for what matters: growing together, staying curious, and finding joy in the everyday.
What You'll Find Here
-
Simple, Joy-Filled Family Living: Traditions like our Christmas Adventures—planned experiences that bring us together instead of adding to the clutter.
-
Wellness that Works for Real Life: We’re learning to care for our minds and bodies in ways that feel doable and fun (think: golf lessons, family walks, movement that makes us feel alive).
-
A Home for “Dog-Eared” Dreams: Whether it’s learning guitar, getting better at budgeting, or finally trying that recipe—we believe it’s never too late.
-
Practical Tools for Purposeful Living: Journals, planners, trackers, and templates to help you (and us) slow down, reset, and realign with what truly matters.
Who We Are
We’re a family of four (plus two loyal dogs!) doing our best to live meaningfully in a busy world. We believe in laughing often, learning always, and creating memories that outlast any gift.
You’ll meet:
🐶 Luna, our Wirehaired Pointing Griffon with boundless joy and energy.
🐾 Maggie, our calm and loyal Black Lab—wise beyond her years.
🎸 A teen teaching himself guitar.
⛳ A dad on a wellness journey (and chasing his golf swing).
📝 A mom rediscovering purpose and balance through creativity and reflection.
🏈 And a curious little one always ready for the next adventure.
This isn’t just our story—it’s yours, too. If you’ve ever saved a quote for later, paused a dream for “someday,” or longed for more connection with your family… you’re in the right place.
We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s turn the page together.
💛
With muddy paws and open hearts,
Maggie, Luna, & the rest of the Dog-Eared Pages crew
