christmas is for the hurting
I’ve had a hard time with Christmas this year. The lovely home tours that are usually so inspiring to me? I haven’t even looked at most of them. We decorated our home for Christmas, but I only put up about 50% of our stash. The main thing I keep thinking is “I can’t wait until this…

lately.
After posting every day in October, I feel like I haven’t written at all here lately. And I’ve really missed it.

31 Day Simplify Series :: how I have a clean house & more sanity {day 6}
Earlier this year, I kept getting stressed out about cleaning my home. I would be going about my day, taking care of the 3 munchkins and then I would randomly notice a giant cobweb in the corner of a ceiling. “ew. I need to clean that off.” However, my well-intentioned thoughts were quickly forgotten when I smelled…

31 Day Simplify Series :: a definition {day 1}
What does the word ‘Simplify’ even mean? I asked Merriam Webster himself and he directed me to the word ‘simple.’ Which is defined (in part) as follows: Notice that circle – er, oval – around that second definition? That’s the one we’re going for in this series. Not complex or fancy. Uncomplicated. There are 4…
