9 Benefits of a Clean Home
The Why Behind Cleaning I’ve discussed cleaning quite a lot lately–how I clean my bathrooms, how I dust, how I vacuum, my cleaning routine–but everything I’ve shared so far has been the how, never the why. I don’t clean because I want people to think my house is perfect or because I think it’s fun (it’s usually not) or because I [Continue Reading…]
Saturday at a Local Fall Festival
There’s a local lavender farm that’s absolutely lovely and dreamy in every way. It’s tucked away in the country, and its tucked away-ness makes it incredibly peaceful and a favorite way to spend the day.

5 Ways to Celebrate Your Dog’s Birthday
Today is Charley’s third birthday. CUE THE WATERWORKS, my baby is growing up too fast. (If you’re not a “dog person,” this post likely won’t be your cup of tea–fair warning.)

When the Dailies are Wearing You Out
This is a repost from the archives. It was originally posted in January of 2016. Sometimes, the dailies wear me right out. You know, the laundry and the cooking and the cleaning and the dog and the dishes and the bed-making and the I-just-washed-the-floor-yesterday-how-is-it-already-dirty-again? All the little things that are never, ever done. Because you can [Continue Reading…]

My life is full, but not busy. When someone says, “I know you’re so busy,” or something similar, I’ve taken to responding graciously, “Oh, I’m really not.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not sitting around twiddling my thumbs all day.
