Meet the Magpie

Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m a girl in my mid-20s living in Jax Beach, Florida, with my husband and our cat, Lady Periwinkle. In this stage of life, we’re figuring out day by day what it looks like to build a life that feels fulfilling, creative, and entirely our own.

These days, that looks like renovating our first home into a welcoming space where friends and family want to gather, finding the best coffee spots in Jacksonville, and maintaining the balance of a healthy, active lifestyle. I work from home full-time and am always looking for ways to step outside of the corporate grind and tap into my creative side. You can usually find me needlepointing at my local LNS for stitch night, on a sunset walk with friends, or relaxing at home with a great book.

That’s where The Morning Magpie comes in. I created this space to share the things that catch my eye along the way and remind me to appreciate the little glimmers hidden in everyday life. From making a house feel like home to finding new favorites and figuring things out as I go, this is a place for me to share the things that make life feel a little fuller.

I don’t believe every day needs to be perfect, or that you need to have it all figured out, to squeeze a little joy out of it. I’m still a work in progress myself, and I think that’s part of the fun. My hope is that you leave here feeling a little more inspired to enjoy the life that’s already happening around you, spend time with the people you love, try something new, and notice a few more of the good things along the way.

After all, that’s what The Morning Magpie is about: gathering glimmers, one everyday moment at a time.
