Hi, I’m Josie. My life is a whirlwind! As a busy business owner, I’m also tackling the solo renovation of a 100-year-old house, all while striving to be a great mom to both my genius son* and my energetic Doberman. And just to add another layer, at 48, I’ve unexpectedly found myself a corporate law student! Despite the chaos, I find joy in exploring the world as a foodie, traveler, and linguist. My home is my sanctuary: a smart haven with a cozy ‘Nancy Meyers’ aesthetic, where cutting-edge tech blends seamlessly with classic elegance. Join me as I navigate the intersection of global flavors, legal intricacies, and the pursuit of a simpler, smarter life.
**Disclaimer** I do dabble in affiliate marketing, but I’m not here to sell you that singing fish you definitely don’t need. My mission is to find those sneaky little life hacks that make you go, ‘Whoa, that’s actually genius!’ I’m basically your friendly neighborhood problem-solver, minus the cape (mostly). I sift through the clutter and present you with the gems, so you can spend less time wrestling with life’s little annoyances.
I’m deep into the smart home world. Like, ‘knows the secret handshake’ deep. Full disclosure? I was the Google Assistant translator for seven years. Yeah, that Google Assistant. So, I know those products inside and out, from the ‘before they were cool’ days.
Now, I’m not here to shove Google gadgets down your throat – promise! But, let’s be real, I use them because I practically lived and breathed them. It’s like knowing a language – you tend to stick with what you’re fluent in.
My mission? To create a smart home that’s actually smart, not just a blinking, buzzing tech monstrosity. I want cozy, functional, and maybe a little bit magical, without looking like a spaceship landed in my living room. I’m all about blending tech seamlessly into your life, not making it the star of the show. Think ‘subtle genius,’ not ‘robot takeover.’
Hustle & Harmony
