About

Hi, I’m Nora

I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Sam, our daughter, and our golden retriever, Biscuit. After eight years in brand marketing, I started Your Brand House to share the small rituals that make a home feel like you — starting with what’s for dinner.

I’m not a trained chef. I test every recipe in my own kitchen until it works on a Tuesday night. If I can make it on a Tuesday, it’s a keeper.

Here you’ll find warm, doable recipes, weekend getaway ideas with a food-first itinerary, and honest, budget-friendly beauty finds.

Let’s stay in touch
