live simply, love madly, make magic.
Last week I was running errands when I suddenly found myself lost in the nail polish aisle of our local pharmacy. I am not typically an impulse buyer. In fact, I try to be the opposite–minimalism is my goal. I’ve never owned more than a handful of nail polish shades in my life. But there…
Hello, friends! In my last few posts I talked about the rain and the cold, but pleased to report that the sun is shining and the air is warm today. It feels like an early glimpse at spring and it is such a deeply welcome reprieve. The groundhog predicted an early spring this year and,…
Hello, sweet friends! Happy Thursday and Happy Valentine’s Day Eve. After what felt like ages, the sun finally came out yesterday and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, it’s disappeared again today though. Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain, there is nothing more cozy than a nice gray, rainy day for cuddling up in blankets…
Motherhood has been such a beautiful journey thus far. With all of the life changes that I’ve gone through these last seven years, however, it wasn’t always easy. One of the things that I truly lost sight of in my early stages of motherhood, was wellness. I don’t know if it was the stress of…
As you’ll soon notice, I’ve been having a lot of fun with bullet-journaling. In addition to helping with time management and organization, I love that it’s encouraging me to get creative and start drawing which has been on my wishful to-do list for years.

Hello, friends. Happy Wednesday. It was another long, gray, February day here–the kind that has me dreaming about the warmer seasons. Though I suppose it has been a rather mild winter, all things considered. I continue to practice deepening into the magic that the darkness and slowness of winter brings. Still, that doesn’t stop me…
With Roman in first grade this year, we’re coming across more and more important “real-life” issues. Topics like bullying, differences, friendship, and fear come up on a regular basis. Last year, when he was in kindergarten, we came across some of these things, but this year it seems that he and his classmates are going…
Hello, friends. It’s the last day of January and I am finally getting around to writing Part 2 of my 2020 Intentions series. I believe that it’s very important to take our time when it comes to our goals and intentions for the coming year. Many of us will set a list of “resolutions” on…
