Welcome to Pointed North! A life + style blog where you’ll find posts about my personal style, travel adventures, Midwest-inspired recipes, book reviews and even some inspiration from my ever-changing home updates.
I began blogging in 2015 under the original name Agnes Wright. Since those early days of experimental writing and discovering my voice, this online space has grown into a natural extension of my daily life. I truly believe in creating a happy, fulfilling life and hope to inspire those around me to do the same.
Why Pointed North?
After discovering a new passion for family history in recent years, I began finding comfort in knowing where my roots originated. I’ve always been passionate about where I was raised – a farm in small town Iowa – but diving deeper into my family’s Northern European origins lead to new inspiration. Beyond ancestry, I have an obsession with almost everything northern – snow, cold weather, mountains, simple design and crisp winter skies. Agnes Wright was a combination of my mom’s middle name and my grandma’s last name. Now, I feel Pointed North is a compilation of it all contributing to who I am.
