Welcome to Life of Noveltea! I’m a musician, artist, and writer. This is my digital realm for musings on music, fiction, (life the universe and everything).
Listen to my music if you enjoy fairy-tale folk music, ballads, and airs (I play dulcimer and sing).
Read my stories if you enjoy urban fantasy, obscure folklore, and unusual adventures.
Follow along on YouTube for more adventures.

Having a morning routine and an evening routine is an important part of my daily strategy. It’s a great time to check in with what I want to accomplish, make sure my goals are on track, and take a little time for self-care. Creating a morning routine customized just for you isn’t hard, but I […]
August is here! I hope you enjoy a peek into my monthly planning process with this Plan with Me post. This is a new column on the blog that features planning and productivity thoughts and tips for the month. Ah, August. 2020 has been beyond difficult. So many people are facing uncertainty and new challenges […]
In my post about why I run multiple blogs, I promised I would talk about how I actually do it. This is that post! Despite how it might sound, running multiple blogs isn’t actually much more complicated than running a single blog. However, you do need a good strategy in place for producing content and […]
I’ve been using these beautiful Silk and Sonder planners for almost two years and I’m so impressed with how easy it is to stay organized with them.
