I'm Katy

Here I spill the tea on balancing hustle and heart with tips and tricks for thriving in business while taking care of yourself, because success is best served with a side of serenity!

We are on snow day #6 this year. It’s 7:54p and we’re all still alive but I’m not sure how much more I can take.

I have 13% of battery life left and I’m too lazy to go down and get the charger so this is gonna be quick.

Body + Soul

199.3

I sure wasn’t expecting that today, but I’ll take it.

That bff I was talking about the other day texted and said she was going to do the workout I did on Sunday (which I’m still sore from). She motivated me to get my ass up and do it too since I missed yoga today.

Yikes. That was harder than I remembered.

House + Home

I really didn’t do anything but work from my bed, play Sorry, Skipbo and make chocolate chip cookies….again. A dish or two got done and the driveway got plowed but other than that…nada.

Fortune + Abundance

The good thing about a snow day is that I can’t spend any money.

Well, I guess I could have gone online but to be honest I have been on my computer way too much for work lately and I just couldn’t get myself to recreate on it today.

I did however receive a package from shopping last week on a snow day today. New shoes for Florida. Win.

Nature + Nurture

Like I said, we’re all still alive, but man, this has been a serious challenge to entertain them all day again.

I’m pretty sure my son’s eyes are going to fall out from all the screen time he’s had and poor Maddie has taken a bath and a shower just to pass the time.

I can’t be the only one this is wearing on. Makes me real nervous for summer.

ABOUT US.

We’re Katy and Dale, or Dale and Katy depending on who you ask.  We are a married team that combines creativity, craftsmanship, and a shared passion for making dreams a reality. We’re currently embarking on an exciting journey to build our forever home on 8 beautiful acres just outside Madison, Wisconsin.

I’m Katy—a life coach and podcaster with a love for designing spaces that are warm, authentic, and filled with purpose. I’m all about turning ideas into reality, and this home project is the ultimate way for us to create something that truly reflects who we are, together.

Dale is an incredibly talented woodworker and a specialist in countertops and flooring, but honestly, there’s nothing he can’t do.  His eye for detail and “can-do-anything” attitude have been crucial as we dive into the many DIY projects that come with building a home from the ground up. He’s the hands-on expert, and together, we make a great team.

For us, this journey is more than just building a house—it’s about creating a space that’s true to our values and reflects how important our surroundings are to us. It’s about designing a home that embodies our love for family and nurtures our deep connection to the world around us. Whether we’re working with local artisans, sourcing sustainable materials, or getting our hands dirty with the next big project, we’re committed to making our dream home truly extraordinary.

We’re excited to share this multi-year adventure with you, and we hope our experiences, insights, and inspiration resonate with anyone who’s ever dreamed of building something special.

In a world that continually celebrates the achievements of women breaking through glass ceilings, climbing corporate ladders, and excelling in their chosen fields, it's easy to assume that these high-achieving women have it all together.  Read more.
