let’s do this…

I’m so glad you’re here lifeonthecove is more than a place, it’s a mindset. It’s about creating a home that welcomes, a rhythm that restores, and moments that matter.

I started this blog to share glimpses of our second home lifestyle, a blend of lake-inspired living, timeless hospitality, faith-filled inspiration, occasional recipes, outfits and simple seasonal joys. Whether you’re here to find home decor ideas, hosting tips, quiet reflections, or curated goods that capture the feeling of “the cove,” I hope you’ll feel at home here.

This isn’t about having a perfect home. It’s about setting the table. Opening the doors. Watching the sun rise a little slower and saying yes to another round of dockside conversation.

I believe in whitewashed neutrals, canvas bags, coffee on the porch, fresh blueberries in summer, and cozy blankets in fall. I believe in showing up, lighting the candles, and passing the bread.

I also believe in Jesus, and you’ll see His name show up often in quiet corners of content, in the ways I create, and in the rhythm of rest I’m learning to lean into.

So welcome. Let’s build something lovely together, one lake day, one handmade good, one heartfelt post at a time.

With love from the cove,

Michele
