I’m Tammy Renée, author of Creating the Beautiful Life.

Here, you’ll find me sharing the world I love — a warm and layered home that tells a story. Something simmering in the kitchen. The changing seasons. Music that sets a mood. Books that stay with you. Films. Art. Places with history and character. Good conversation. And reflections on living a meaningful life.

Literature has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm a former literature teacher, and I love returning to the writers and stories that have something enduring to say about being human. You'll see elements of that throughout my content.

In my free time, I’m usually listening to classical music, opera, or old jazz. I also enjoy reading, watching a film, visiting an art museum, or making seasonal changes around my home —especially for fall and Christmas, my favorites.

I’m the mother of grown children and a grandmother. Time with family is my greatest joy.

If you’d like a more personal glimpse into the home and season of life I’m creating from right now, you can read this blog post.

Creating the Beautiful Life is an invitation to enjoy your home, the seasons, and more of what makes life good. I’m so glad you’re here.
