Cultivating a rooted life.

I help people cultivate slow, intentional rhythms and an analog-first lifestyle that nourishes both mind and memory. My work centers around three pillars:

• Library: Building and curating a meaningful collection of books and ideas — reading not as a productivity goal, but as a lifestyle. Choosing what truly matters and thoughtfully preserving the stories, knowledge, and inspiration that shape us.
• Living: Designing life with intention, finding calm in a noisy world, and building resilience through slow rituals, seasonal resets, gentle decluttering, and simple analog routines that restore focus and attention.
• Legacy: Preserving the stories, memories, and photos that matter most: creating a lasting archive for yourself and those you love.

In the coming months, you’ll find articles and resources on rebuilding your attention, curating a meaningful library, reading more mindfully offline, thoughtful book-keeping, and learning what to keep and what to let go of. I’ll also share guidance on slow rituals, home and idea organization, and analog routines that support a life of focus, depth, and intentionality.

Who am I? I’m Amanda. I’m an avid book collector and mood reader extraordinaire. Self-proclaimed family historian. Amateur baker and aspiring gardener. Exhausted mama of two. I am also a recovering digital native.

If you’re feeling scattered, digitally exhausted, or unsure where your attention even is, you’re not alone. This space is for you — a place to reconnect with reading, slow living, and the legacies that shape our lives.
