Reclaiming My Home and Myself
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. I know it's not much - my schedule has been particularly full of meetings and work lately, so I haven't had the time or space to tackle a great deal, but [...]
Chaos is something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I've spoken a little bit about my relationship to chaos in this post. To recap: When the divorce was finally over and I was able to relax again, once I eventually found my new normal, I noticed a relief in chaos. It opened [...]
The Closet built-in is finally finished! And I'm WILD about how it turned out! I'm going to be honest, I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this one. I must have been riding high from the kitchen countertops thinking "If I can do that, I can do anything!" - I wasn't [...]
Here's a fun story for you: last week I was two margarita deep on a date with Jesse and I decided to invite a couple out-of-town friends to stay over for Memorial Day weekend... never mind the fact that all of the contents of my closet are currently strewn about the guest room. That being [...]
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.

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 [...]
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I've been thinking about who I am in this space that I've created - this little corner of the internet. What am I doing here? What is my goal? What do I want you, reader/ follower/ friend, to take away from the time you spend with me [...]
Well this whole closet project has proved itself to be quite a bit more ambitious than I expected it to be! After all, it's a tiny little cubby in a tiny little closet, how hard could it be!?... the answer: very hard. Here is a little drawing to remind you of my building plans I'm [...]
Have you ever had one of those days? You know, when one thing after another just goes all wrong. Your alarm doesn't go off, you burn the toast, you step on bubble gum. You know the kind of day I'm talking about... Yesterday was one of those days. I intended to make headway on my [...]
One of my life's dreams is to have a big closet. I'm not talking huge here. It doesn’t need to have an island and it’s own seating area! But I do dream of just a little bit of elbow room. *sigh* That would be nice... someday. However, that day is not today. And as is [...]
