How I Get Fast, Perfect Curls With a Miraqueen
Back in May, my dear friend Sonja (of Sonja DiNanno Photography) took engagement photos of Riley and I.

Sitting In Brokenness
I spent time on Friday afternoon filming a lighthearted video about how I curl my hair–editing it, uploading it, and adding a post to go with it. I set it to publish at 8am today.

9 Books To Read During Your Engagement
Contrary to societal belief, engagement is not just about finding the perfect wedding dress, booking a venue, and tasting cake.

How I Clean My Home | Frequency, Order, and Supplies
I was a babysitter/nanny for more than 10 years, and every time I would watch a family’s children, I’d thoroughly clean their house after I put the kids to bed (or while they napped). I just couldn’t relax, watch TV, or grab a snack until everything was clean! Depending on the family, I could sometimes tidy up in [Continue Reading…]
7 Podcasts I’m Listening To Right Now
I spend a lot of time at home during the day. It is, after all, where I work and live. Though I truly enjoy the peace and quiet of working on my own (with Charley at my feet, of course!), I absolutely love to listen to podcasts throughout the day, especially while I’m doing housework.

Organizing Our Hot Mess Closets (Cue Scary Music)
