Lyfescape is a lifestyle site about the everyday decisions that shape how we live: the car in the driveway, the tech on the desk, the home we come back to, our health, our money and the trips we plan.
Our writers come from different corners of the country and different stages of life. They write in plain language, check their facts against the source they name, and tell you what is worth your time and money.
Lyfescape.com is owned and operated by Netpoint Media LLC. You can reach us through our contact page.
Meet our writers
Meet the people behind Lyfescape. They drive the back roads, cook the dinners, chase the deals and plan the trips, and they write the way they’d talk to a friend over coffee.
Madeline Marshall lives in the Pacific Northwest, where the rain basically moves in for the season and the herbs on her windowsill thrive anyway. She has a yoga habit, a routine for nearly everything and a soft spot for blackberry season. She writes about travel nerves because she’s had them, and she has figured out what actually helps.
Hugh Parsons is a Midwesterner who has never met a roadside attraction he didn’t want to pull over for. Hand him an old movie, a shoebox of vintage photos and a really good deal, and his weekend is made, right after the Friday fish fry.
Del Bailey trains at altitude in Colorado, which means he drinks more water than anyone you know and still turns back when the afternoon clouds stack up over the peaks. He meditates every morning, hits the gym most days and lives by one rule: the routine you’ll actually keep beats the perfect plan you quit by February.
Timothy Cobb is a New Englander who has stayed in more chain hotels than he can count and squeezes every last point out of every loyalty program. When he isn’t chasing a deal, he’s chasing a ghost story down a foggy back road, and he still slows down for every classic muscle car he passes.
Obadiah Kennedy is a Mountain West back-roads guy who will take the dirt road over the highway every single time. He’s a lifelong nostalgia buff who can rank classic sitcoms and muscle cars from memory, and he never misses a car show.
Avery Walsh is a Southern Californian who reads food labels the way other people read novels. She’s a home cook, a farmers-market regular and the friend everyone calls before they sign anything, because she has compared more mortgage and insurance quotes than she can count.
Richard Hollis has bought, fixed and road-tripped more family cars and trucks than he can count, towed the ATVs out to the desert with his three kids in the back, and knows exactly what a Phoenix summer does to a car battery. He also reads the actual study before he believes a health headline, and he takes his walk before sunrise to beat the heat.
Rachel Dunn has job-hunted, switched careers, run a side hustle and worked remote, hybrid and in an office. The Atlanta mom of two has rebuilt her home office more times than she’d like to admit, and she has the school-pickup-between-video-calls routine down to a science.
Natalie Brooks has decorated through every trend from country-blue geese to farmhouse chic, and she has the paint-splattered jeans to prove it. The Nashville mom of two thrifts and flips furniture, keeps her skincare routine alive through humid Tennessee summers and always has room for one more at the dinner table.
Graham Whitfield remembers planning Europe with a guidebook, a road atlas and a phone card. These days the Philadelphia dad of three plans his trips around the train timetable, walks every city end to end and knows which museums kids actually enjoy.
Megan Tate is a Chicago-area mom of four in a house that has always had a dog, a cat or a fish tank, and sometimes all three at once! She writes about family trips, weeknight dinners and holiday traditions with tips that have survived real life with a full car and a full house.
