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.

Plan Your Day, Change Your Life (no really!)
This past week I was without a planner – I was waiting for my new one in the mail. My life fell apart. I forgot errands, forgot supplies for activities, I might have even forgotten deodorant a couple days and I’m gonna blame that on my planner. Then I was chatting with my neighbour about […]
The Burden of Clutter
When you grow up surrounded by ‘stuff’ you develop a complicated and personal relationship to words like ‘clutter’, ‘organized’, and ‘storage’. I can’t say my parents did anything wrong by keeping their possessions, but it was a source of stress for me. Into my adult life it still stresses me. I feel burdened by things. […]
Week One of #moms30for30 (Summer Closet Remix)
I got dressed every day this week!! No, I don’t think it is practical, or even necessary, to get dressed up each day. Motherhood sometimes means staying at home, wiping oatmeal off your pant leg and putting on lipstick with your sweats because that’s the most reasonable ‘something special’ you can accomplish. However, I do […]
