I've written about this subject before - my dream back yard - and today I want to continue the conversation! Let's recap what we already know: I have zero privacy. My yard is like the Roman Coliseum. I am down below, on display with my partner and our dogs, and my neighbors can sit up [...]

Piggy-backing off of Tuesday's blog post, I'm fully giving myself permission to be in the mental and emotional headspace that I am currently in. As I continue to give myself the time and space I need to be present in this season, I wanted to offer you a video that made me double over laughing. [...]

You may not have noticed, but I didn't post a single blog post last week. This is the fist time since starting this blog that I've done that - not posted without a heads up and a reason (ex: a holiday or vacation). On one hand, I'm trying to navigate how to do this whole [...]

I'm holding true to my word. I'm slowly, but surely, minimizing unnecessary chaos and excess. And I started this process in my dresser drawers.

If you follow my Instagram, you might know that something pretty scary happened to Jesse and me this weekend. We were driving home from a wedding and an oncoming car veered into our lane. If Jesse hadn't swerved off the road to avoid them, this car would have crashed head on into the driver's side. [...]

This time of year, the roses on my front porch bloom so bright and happy. The big pink blossoms only stick around for a short while but the amount of joy they bring me is immeasurable. I love my roses. I've tended to them for years and I like to believe it shows. I woke [...]
