Why I Started The Nurse’s Notes and Southern Home Inspirations
A Blend of Care, Creativity, and Calling
After years in nursing, I’ve seen how much our environments affect our well-being — not just in hospitals and clinics, but in the places we call home. I started The Nurse’s Notes and Southern Home Inspirations because I believe that healing begins at home, and that caring for others starts with how we care for ourselves and the spaces we live in.
From Nursing to Creating
My journey in healthcare has taught me about resilience, compassion, and the importance of a peaceful environment. Over time, I felt the pull to create something beyond traditional healthcare — a space where I could share what I’ve learned about balance, home, and wellness in a more personal way.
That’s how The Nurse’s Notes began — a place to share insights, encouragement, and inspiration for living well, one small change at a time.
Where Health Meets Home
Working alongside my husband on home projects reminded me how closely connected our environments and emotions are. A calm, beautiful space can support our mental and physical health just as much as a daily routine or healthy habit can.
That connection inspired Southern Home Inspirations (which connects to our company) and The Nurse’s Notes, where I share home projects, design ideas, and DIY ways to make your home feel peaceful, warm, and healing. Along side these articles will be general health and wellness tips and resources for those who work in healthcare or not, health education and how to advocate for yourself as a patient, and how your home impacts your health as well.
Together, these two spaces represent a simple idea: wellness starts where you are.
My Hope for You
If you’ve ever felt like you’re rebuilding or finding your footing again — you’re not alone. This space is for you: the caregivers, creators, dreamers, and doers who are learning to build a life and home that feel good inside and out.
Welcome home. 💛
