WELCOME
Four years ago I was home with three small kids. I was feeling overwhelmed, restless, and exhausted. I stumbled across minimalism and started decluttering my home. As I went through the decluttering process I started asking myself questions about these things I let into my home and life.
I realized I had been on autopilot in so many areas of my life.
It started my drive to live life with more passion and purpose.
I don’t want my kids to grow up with me left wondering what happened to the years.

Quotes for Minimalist Motivation

I’m not the kind of lady who has her life together enough to follow some kind of decluttering calendar to make sure I keep on it. […]

Why My Lamest New Years Eve Was My Best
You know you have no social life anymore when you and your husband say in unison ‘Who is calling so late!?’ It’s only 9pm and what’s sadder? It’s your parents phoning to wish you Happy New Years before their party gets too wild and they forget they have kids to call. Once the bambinos were […]
Moms Without Value {Just A Mom}
I just got off the phone with a BFF who doesn’t yet have kids. She is one of the many who struggled with my decision to give up my career to raise my kids. Though this phone call wasn’t the usual ‘hi, how are you? Lets talk paint colours…’. It was more of ‘hey, I […]
Setting the Course for 2016 (oh weird, I made some lists)
I wanted to write this post and tell you that for the first time in my adult life I have real, legit, New Year’s resolutions! (because all the other years I have copped-out and said my resolution is to ‘chew my food well’, I mean, this really falls in the life skill category, not […]
