Meet MaryKathryn

The heart behind Ever & Alder. Living in the Pacific Northwest, where the mountains meet the rivers, has taught me to embrace the beauty of change—how life is fleeting, ever-shifting, and deeply meaningful when we choose to be present.

I’m married to my best friend, the one who knows me fully and still chooses me every day. Together, we’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, and the little moments that matter most. Motherhood changed me—it made me want to slow down, to soak in the fleeting seasons, and to live with more intention.

Ever & Alder was born from that desire. “Ever” speaks to what lasts: love, presence, and the moments that shape us. “Alder” represents resilience and renewal, inspired by the trees that thrive in wild places, always reaching for the light.

This space is about finding beauty in the everyday—through motherhood, home, style, and simple rituals that make life feel full and intentional. I hope what you find here resonates with you and inspires you to create a life that feels just right for you.
