Five years ago, I created Ambyr Things because I had a lot to say about life — the good, the hard, the beautiful, the confusing — and for a long time, most of it lived quietly in my head.

I didn’t know then that sharing those things could make someone else feel seen. That a story could offer perspective, a recipe could become part of someone else’s table, or something I discovered could make their everyday life a little better.

I just knew I wanted a place to share the things that mattered to me.

And so, Ambyr Things began.

A lot has changed since then.

I became a wife and a mother. Southern California became home. Dreams I once imagined from somewhere else became parts of my ordinary life.

And I’ve learned that making more of your life doesn’t always mean acquiring more or becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s about noticing, tending to, and making something meaningful from what’s already here.

That’s the heart of Ambyr Things today.

An independent lifestyle publication where I share what I’m learning, making, loving, questioning, and discovering through three parts of life that continually bring me home:

Personal Growth
The inner work of knowing yourself, trusting yourself, and continuing to become.

Home & Heart
Food, family, home, recipes, and the rituals that create warmth and belonging.

Everyday Joy
The finds, experiences, and ordinary pleasures that make a life feel full.

And me?

I’m Ambyr — the writer, creator, and independent publisher behind it all.

I’m building my life in real time, just like you are. And if something makes my home warmer, my thinking clearer, my dinner better, my days easier, or my life a little richer, chances are I’m going to tell you about it.

My hope is that something you find here inspires you to make more of the life you’re already living, too.

Stay awhile. ♡

With Love,
