Hello sweet friend,
I am so glad you’re here!
Welcome to Turquoise Avenue, my little corner of the internet. I’m M.J. Elliott, but most people call me Mandy—wife, mama, author, book lover, blogger and Bookstagrammer—doing my best to live simply, intentionally and with joy.
Here, you’ll find bookish fun, homeschooling tips, our adoption story and heartwarming encouragement for everyday life. My hope is that this space feels like a cozy retreat—one that inspires, uplifts, and makes you feel right at home.
I’d love to hear from you! Drop me a note to say hello, and don’t forget to sign up for my email list below so we can stay connected. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and stay awhile!
With love,
M.J. (Mandy)
