About

Roots & Ridgeways is a lifestyle blog inspired by the Appalachian values of family, sustainability, frugality, and nature. I cover a wide range of topics, from the best travel itineraries to DIY Christmas gifts. Let’s get back to our roots!

Hi, I’m Annie.

I proudly trace my roots to Appalachia, from Hazard, KY, to Elkins, WV, to Floyd, VA. When I moved to Virginia’s Blue Ridge in 2020, I felt an instant connection to the culture. As a new mom, I wanted to incorporate the Appalachian ideals of family, sustainability, frugality, and nature into my lifestyle.
