Established in 2019 as a resource for all things travel, home, and family, The Lighthouse Chapters is a chronicle of how I use my budgeting, planning, and organizational skills to provide the best life for my young and growing family.
If you’ve made it here, I’ll bet I already know a lot about you! You love to travel and learn new things. You care about making your home a cozy, appealing, and organized sanctuary you can be proud of. You’re always on the hunt for the next OOTD inspiration, book recommendation, or fun activity for your family. But like me, you’re just the Average Jill, so you also strive to be as budget-friendly as possible in all things you do.

Hi, I’m Kayla – it’s so great to have you here!
I am a wife of four years to an amazing husband, mommy to a darling son, a working professional in the scientific field, an avid reader, perpetual hobbyist, and am constantly daydreaming of the next destination to check off my bucket list.
Become one of my Lighthouse Loyalists to stay in-the-know about what I’m up to!
