About Amy Belle
A wife & soon-to-be mom longing for all things simplicity, stillness & joy.
I created Beauty In Simple to inspire others to experience the same transformation I did through my simplifying journey. Here, you’ll find practical tips on simplifying your home, embracing slow living, and discovering the beauty that lies in living with less but loving it more.
My formula for a joy-filled life? It all starts with simple. Once we simplify, we can slow down to be fully present and make space for the things that bring us true joy. At times I would recite these three words to myself, and still do today: simple, slow, joy.
Let’s create calm, beautiful spaces that support the life you want to live—one with more presence, connection, and delight in the little things.

How it all started
2016
Met the love of my life
in North Carolina—turns out, we grew up just one town apart in CT! After a few years, we moved back home to be closer to family.
2018
I spent years searching for my path
working in banking, finance, and real estate. But deep down, I longed for something that aligned with my free-spirited nature—something meaningful, that would inspire others.
2022
We got married in a beautiful lake setting.
2024: This was the year I finally knew.
I had been torn between a food blog because I also found a love for from-scratch cooking, and an intentional, simple living blog—but my heart kept leading me back to slow, intentional living. It’s what truly lights me up. Plus, I can share a few simple recipes here too 😉 Then, in August 2024, I became pregnant with my first baby, and everything clicked.
2025:
Preparing for motherhood
made me see just how deeply I needed to bring my dream to life—not just for flexibility and income, but because this was my passion. As I prepared for my little one, I began simplifying every single area of my home, knowing that I didn’t want stuff weighing me down when I had a newborn to care for. I wanted to be present, not overwhelmed. I wanted to create a life that felt peaceful, joyful, and intentional.
And so, Beauty in Simple Living was born.
My philosophy is simple: peace starts with simplifying. When we clear the excess from our lives, we create space to be present—for ourselves, for the ones we love, and for what truly matters. From there, joy flows effortlessly. It’s in the quiet moments: reading a book while the baby naps, heading to the park on a sunny spring day just because, or baking something warm and cozy in the kitchen.
