My Exercise Journey: Why I Stopped and Why I Came Back
This is not a decorating post. If you’ve followed for a while, you know I love talking lifestyle stuff. Family, faith, cooking, and well, a whole hodge podge of things. Mostly decorating, yes, but I like to talk about all the things. Especially if I think they’ll help or inspire you. I wanted to talk […]
Why We All Should Watch This Is Us
Gah. You guys. It’s the morning after the Superbowl, and if you’re a This Is Us fan, you know what also happened last night. I’ll try my very hardest not to spoil anything in this post, but I’m guessing most of you have heard about this epic episode, even if you don’t watch. And if […]

Been planning and packing outfits and emailing with my mentor and reading about workshop schedules and writing and checking off lists and I cannot even believe I will be in Georgia on THURSDAY for the Haven Conference!! I’ve wanted to go every year, but there’s always been […]
Another Chapter Begins…
I caught a glimpse of you this morning. You were standing outside, waiting for the bus a few minutes early. Just like me, you woke up early with anticipation for today and had time to spare. It’s what we do. You had a bag with your sweater – in case you get chilly – and […]
A Decluttering Update and What Has Helped Me on Quest!
I wrote a post about Spring Cleaning about a month ago and it seemed to resonate with a lot of you. I think most of us want to simplify life these days and clear out the clutter in our homes – I know for me, I’m a much better version of myself when things are in […]
Thoughts on Spring Cleaning, Simplicity, and Not Wanting a Bigger House.
So it appears that Spring has sprung early in Maryland this year. We had the windows open with temps in the 70s this past weekend, and the seven day forecast shows much of the same.
