Hi, I’m Colleen — the creator behind Shibley Smiles, a Florida lifestyle blog inspired by everyday life, healthy living, family, and finding joy in the little things.
I’m a South Florida girl at heart who loves sunshine, palm trees, beach days, cozy evenings by the pool, and making life feel a little more beautiful and balanced. When I’m not working on the blog, I work full-time as an Accounting Manager, Development and have been with the same company for over 21 years. Building a career while also building a creative space online has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.
Shibley Smiles started as a creative outlet, but over the years it has grown into a place where I share the things that truly matter to me —Florida lifestyle inspiration, healthier habits, easy recipes, home inspiration, travel, wellness, family life, and products I genuinely enjoy.
In recent years, living a healthier lifestyle has become especially important to me. Through small daily changes, better habits, and a more balanced approach to wellness, I’ve discovered how much better life feels when you prioritize both physical and mental well-being. That journey has inspired much of the healthy living, wellness, and lighter recipe content you’ll now find throughout the site.
Family is at the center of everything I do. I’m married to my husband, who is my best friend and favorite person to relax at home with, and I’m also a proud mom and grandmother. Some of my favorite moments are the simple ones — spending time with my grandkids, lounging by the pool, taking golf cart rides around town, enjoying Florida sunsets, or relaxing at home with our adorable Frenchies.
