About Me

Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you found my little corner of the ever-changing internet. Since 1997, I’ve been dreaming big—and this blog is where I share those dreams, the lessons they’ve taught me, and the faith that fuels them.

Dreaming Since 1997 is a space for storytelling, seasonal inspiration, and reflections on faith, creativity, and intentional living. I write about cozy routines, personal growth, and the beauty of everyday moments—often with a touch of nostalgia and a splash of pop culture.

I believe in the power of Jesus-inspired dreams—ones that guide us toward the life God lovingly designed specifically for us. My hope is that this space encourages you to reflect, pray, and dream boldly. Whether you’re here for seasonal checklists, spiritual encouragement, or just a dose of cozy comfort, I hope you find something that speaks to your heart.

A little about me: I’m a pharmacist, happily married, and living on the short coast of New Hampshire with my wonderful husband and our three beloved pets—a sociable beagle, a goofy Great Dane/Plott hound mix, and a sassy calico cat. When I’m not working at my pharmacy, you’ll find me crocheting, reading (especially my Bible), trying fancy cocktails, watching old movies, going to brunch, or soaking up sunshine on our deck.

All content is written and curated by me, Miriam, with love and intention. Thank you for being here—I’m excited to have you as a new friend.

Cheers!

Our Last Monday in August

  Good morning! I am glad you're here 😄. Today I want to talk about what I am currently crocheting. Grab your crochet hooks, a cup of coffee, and let's get into it! I took this a few weeks ago, one Sunday evening. Thomas and I were hanging out on the deck with our dogs, enjoying the warm weather. I should be finishing up with these hot-girl squares and I'll let you know what I make of them! I learned how to make a new hot-girl square... a skull hot-girl square! They are so cute and so much easier than I thought they would be! I decided to learn how to make them one morning a couple weeks ago when Thomas and I were at the beach. It was a perfect morning. We grabbed iced lattes and acai bowls from our favorite beachside cafe, and enjoyed the entire morning in the sand.  My first one kind of resembled a storm trooper, but I have gotten a little better since this picture! I also decided that I am going to make blankets for my family and friends. I have mentioned this before, b...

Fall 2025 Goals!

Hello! I don't know about you, but I am absolutely ready for this long weekend. I have had a crazy week at work.  Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my Fall 2025 Goals!  In no particular order, here is a list of some of my goals: 1. Decorate - I want to go all out this year. I have a blow up Snoopy and Great Pumpkin inflatable in my Walmart shopping cart online. I want to have a pretty assortment of pumpkins out on my stoop. Last year, we didn't really have decorations up for the trick-or-treaters, and I want to go all out this year. I will definitely be posting pictures of my progress! 2. Watch lots of football - This will be easy as my husband, Thomas, has an entire room in our house dedicated to watching games. Of course, I will be crocheting blankets while he has the game on tv.  3. Dress up for Halloween - We will probably go to one of our friend's Halloween parties this year, and I am excited to dress up! I'm not sure what Thomas and I will go as, but I am ex...

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...
