How it all started…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for sharing what I love—whether it’s a perfect meal, an unforgettable destination, or products that I just can’t live without. But somewhere along the way, I put that passion on hold. For the past five and a half years, I have poured my time and energy into helping someone else build their dream, and while I wouldn’t change that experience because it taught me so many valuable lessons, I realized something important—it’s time to start building my own again.
Sunshine and Laugh Lines is more than just a blog; it’s the start of a life filled with freedom, fulfillment, and the joy of sharing once again. Here, you’ll find stories of travel, food, and adventure, sprinkled with all the things I love, and inspiration to savor every moment. But more than anything, I hope this space brings a little extra sunshine into your life. Because the world could always use more light, more joy, and more reasons to smile.
And those laugh lines? They’re proof of a life well-lived, full of smiles, belly laughs, and moments that make happiness impossible to contain. I hope this blog inspires you to embrace every adventure, savor every bite, and fill your days with the kind of joy that leaves its mark—on your heart and your face.
So welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s wander, savor, and create something beautiful together.
