About Nevermore Lane
Welcome to Nevermore Lane, where authentic storytelling meets everyday adventure in rural Michigan.
I’m a passionate blogger and content creator sharing the authentic experiences of navigating life as a 50-year-old pet parent alongside my partner Dave and our beloved pack of six rescue dogs. From my pittie rescue Poe and pug-chihuahua mix Tinkerbell to Dave’s boxer-staffie mix Tracer and French Bulldogs Dash and Astrid, our furry family is at the heart of everything I do.

My Story
With years of blogging experience (previously YUMeating and other platforms now consolidated into Nevermore Lane), I bring a genuine voice to topics that matter to my community. My content resonates with fellow pet parents, midlife adventurers, and anyone seeking authentic stories about creating a healthy, meaningful life.
Living in rural Michigan provides the perfect backdrop for exploring everything from local gems to broader lifestyle topics, always with the honest perspective that comes from real experience.
