"The coziest homes are the ones made with love, not perfection."
Hi! I'm Ally - the heart behind Cozy on Cedar! We moved into our home in 2021, got engaged in our living room, brought our twin boys home here… and yet for months, I spent way too much time scrolling Zillow and looking for our "dream house.” One day, it hit me - if I spend my time wishing for something else, I'll miss out on the blessings I already have!
So, I broke up with Zillow and started pouring that time into this little house that we already have (+ one that truly deserves it)! Around here, you'll find lots of seasonal decor, approachable DIYs, and hopefully a little reminder that you can create a home you love - no matter where you are in your journey!

I'm a HUGE morning person! Those first couple of hours are my absolute favorite - the house is (usually) quiet, the day feels full of possibility, and for a little while, everything moves slower. The sound of my coffee brewing is one of my favorites and if I could live in any moment on repeat, it would be my mornings, where everything feels calm, fresh, + unhurried!

In case it’s not obvious by now, I really love the seasons! Each one has its own little joys, and I get so much happiness out of decorating for them. Of course, I have my favorites (fall + Christmas!!), but I’m learning to slow down and embrace each season as it comes. Time seems to fly by faster every year, so being present and soaking it all in feels more important than ever!

Chris, our boys, our pup, Tuuk + cat, Lorraine - they’re the heart behind everything I do! This blog started as a way to get back to the things I love, but also as a way to create a home that feels cozy, welcoming, and full of love for us. At the end of the day, nothing matters more to me than making our space one where we can truly just be ourselves, together!!
