I’m Ambyr! 👋🏾

(Pronounced like Amber…but with a y)

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I’m figuring out life one DIY project, journal prompt, and recipe at a time. I started this blog because life didn’t come with a “how-to” guide—and let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to swap a little chaos for some clarity and creativity?

🌟 Who Am I?

I’m a Mid-Western girl who packed up everything, including a diabetic cat named Marble…RIP 🐱, to build my dream life in Southern California 12 years ago.

I’m now a wife and a mom who loves turning our house into a home and a challenge into an opportunity.

I’m passionate about creating spaces—both inside and out—that feel calm, beautiful, and uniquely ours.

✍🏾 Why I Blog

Writing has been my first love because it’s such a cathartic way to turn my thoughts and ideas into something tangible.

Here, at Ambyr Things, you’re seeing pretty much everything that goes on in my head - the good, the lack of boundaries, and sometimes, uncomfortable truths meant to help us get to the next level.

This blog is for us - the brave souls willing to build our dreams, brick by brick, no matter the cost.

So, whether you’re here for the tips, the laughs, or the solidarity, grab your heated blanket and get comfy.

I can’t wait to tell you everything! 🖤
