About City of Creative Dreams
Welcome! I am so glad to have you here!
City of Creative Dreams is a lifestyle blog infused with organization, creative ideas and DIYs to inspire! It is also your one-stop spot to feed your organizing obsession throughout all aspects of your life from your wedding, your home, your journey through motherhood to your business or side hustle. Yet, my mission is simple: To help busy women and brides-to-be organize their life without spending thousands.
City of Creative Dreams is where I pour my passion for organizing, creativity, and simplifying life, all while juggling my roles as a mom, wife, and big sister in a busy multigenerational household. Honestly speaking, I started this blog when I was a single parent, stay-at-home mom in need of a creative outlet, squeezing in time between caring for my son and younger siblings.
What began as a hobby has grown into a platform focused on helping women like you organize every aspect of your life – from home and lifestyle to planning your dream wedding – without the stress.
This space is my canvas for sharing practical organizing tips, creative solutions, lifestyle inspiration, and DIY projects to help you take control of your time and space. My goal is to empower you to feel confident in this beautifully imperfect journey of life and find organization in every corner of it.
By no means is my life perfect (nor do I claim to be!), but that’s what makes it a journey worth sharing. Removing the clutter in my life allowed me to have more time for the things I love, and that’s exactly what I want for you. Together, we can turn your dreams of a clutter-free, stress-free life into reality—one organized step at a time.

So, you may be wondering, how did this become my life?
I'm going to real honest. Life for me was planned out.
No surprise there, right? I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was headed. Then, out of nowhere, I found out I was having a baby (when my doctor had told me I couldn’t have kids because I have PCOS) and it felt like my whole world flipped upside down... or so I thought.
But here's the thing – life is imperfect, and it’s always changing, much like a city that’s constantly evolving. And just like the ocean’s waves, we have to learn to ride the ups and downs.
Having my son gave me a new perspective on life, a fire to not settle, and the drive to create something better for both of us. What seemed like a complete detour (or wrecking ball) in my perfectly laid-out plans became the very thing that brought me to where I am today.
It’s funny how the things that seem scariest, the twists that catch us off guard, can end up leading to something beyond our wildest dreams. Life may not always go as planned, but sometimes, those unexpected waves are exactly what we need to discover a path we never knew existed.
What Can I Say About Myself?
I was born and raised in Canada – a British Columbia girl now living in an Ontario world! (I also have moved like a lot)
My first love is writing as I am a playwright & author. But I am also a certified Interior Decorator & Wedding Planner.
I'm a wife to my high school sweetheart, mom & older sister to 3 siblings (both my son & sisters on autism spectrum).
I get told I look like I’m in my teens! (Spoiler alert: I’m not.) I seriously love bubble gum ice cream, and love huskies!

Caught between her dreams and reality, Christy Sheppard's life no longer feels ordinary. Dreams are mailed to Christy every morning at the same time. Each time, whatever she reads is what she walks into that night when she sleeps. It took one glimpse of a mystery person's clothing to snap her out of the cycle but in return blank letters start to show up. As she starts to put the pieces together everyone in her life begins to look like a suspect. Not even Christy is prepared for the twists and turns that she has woken up to.
