Journal writing was never one of my strong suits. As a teenager I would write in it periodically, basically whenever I found it in my room. Now that I am a mom I have maybe only written in it a handful of times. Whoops! Since I do not like making New Year’s resolutions I have […]
Three years ago, I made the first New Year’s resolution I’ve ever kept. Essentially, I challenged myself to create something new every day. These didn’t need to be tangible items. Sometimes it was art. Often it was in the form of food–trying new recipes or new plating designs. I even included the creation of new […]
I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions, goals, or inspirational words. But there is something about the start of a new year that always gets me thinking about how I want the next 12 months to look. Last year was the first time that I actually set a few goals for myself. Most fizzled […]
It’s that time of the year. The twinkle and promises of the holiday season are fading away, leaving us with broken resolutions and frozen noses. There’s a reason January is both hot tea month and national soup month–after the New Year’s Eve glitter falls, we could use some warmth and comfort. This weekend, skip the […]
2017 was hard. And now that I think about it, 2016 and 2015 weren’t so easy either.

When we moved into our home four years ago, my husband and I promised each other that we would do more home projects to put our personalities into our home. Four years later, we don’t have any family photos on the wall, and while I have a concept in mind for each room, I never […]
Welcome to the new year! The year so many have been looking forward to, especially after the headlines of the previous year continued to affront us with not-so-happy news. I always love the new year because I love planners and pens. I feel energy to make things happen again. It is a part of my […]
Money. Not a lot of people like to talk about it, and things can get awkward real fast if you do. I am not one of those people. I don’t mind at all. In fact I love talking about it, sharing any tips I have and love to hear other people’s success stories and how […]
Two years ago I made the first, and only, resolution I have ever stuck with. I was being consumed by motherhood and trying to figure out who I was. So, I decided to make a resolution that would not deprive me of anything. Instead, it would be constant reminder to create the life I wanted. […]
