Home. Life. Work. Ease.
Today I’d like you to do a random act of kindness…for yourself. There are so many reasons you deserve to treat yo’ self today. In fact, I can think of so many I will let you pick your own from the list below. (All of them are true, so you can’t get it wrong.) Select your favorite reason: You’ve been working so hard. You’ve accomplished so much! You’ve had your fair share of
Hi! I missed you. This month has gotten away from me. Some great things happened, like family weddings and visitors and playing outside, that made time speed up and made me think, wait, where did June go? And some not-so-great things happened, that kind of stopped all my aspirations in their tracks and made me slow down and focus on just the big stuff—nothing else. Does that ever happen to
Ahhh, summer. The season of edibles, just growing right up out of the ground. The farmer’s market is convenient, yes, but you know what’s even more convenient? Food growing on your kitchen counter. (And I’m not talking about the potatoes that have been sitting so long they’ve started sprouting.) Today, I present to you: 3 ways to grow (great) food in your kitchen…at three different levels, depending on your skill
I don’t do this very often…in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever done it. But today’s blog post is, in essence, a love letter to someone else’s blog post. Because I’m pretty sure that me and this blog post were made for each other. It’s not a new post…but it’s still so incredibly relevant. It will remain on my all-time favorite posts list until the internet slows its pace on pumping out
Back in February, if you recall, I did a reader survey. One of the comments that was checked on nearly every single submission was, “I never feel like what I’m making for dinner is healthy enough.” I added that line-item on a whim…and it was mostly because, I get that feeling. Maybe instead of making regular old macaroni and cheese with the artificial Yellow coloring that’s been banned in most countries,
Asparagus and goat cheese pizza! This is the recipe I use, with a few modifications. And it was so good, I shall be making it again tomorrow. Nom, nom, nom, I love seasonal foods. (And it’s almost time for my annual artichoke!) I’ve found so, so many articles online lately that I’m loving! This one in particular was written by Rob Lowe about sending his son off to college…it’s
All the world’s a stage. ~ William Shakespeare You are the writer, producer and director of a live-action love story. Your parents made the first investment in its production, and filming started the day you were born. Things started getting interesting when you learned to ask for what you want. It really hit its stride when you decided you wanted to leave a footprint on the world. Your home is
Spring has arrived, but it’s been raining for the past few days. But never fear! Even if you’re cooped up in the house, you can take full advantage of the season by getting a head start on your spring cleaning. Decluttering is in the freaking air around here. I cleaned through all the bathroom cupboards and cabinets last week and ditched old body care products, expired medication, and that one
You ever have the feeling like you’re surrounded by so much chaos and disorder, that it’s overwhelming and you don’t know where to start? This list was inspired to eradicate that feeling. When I typically think of decluttering or organizing projects, they feel BIG and un-doable. So I broke down some common tasks into bite-sized chunks. (Because after all, the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a
This week, I took a walk outside wearing flip flops and a tank top. It was transcendent. And then later in the week we had a sun shower. Oh, hello Spring. You feel gooooood. Peach cake. I started thinking about cake last night right before I went to bed. Then I remembered I had peaches in the freezer from last summer. Then I thought, Peach Cake. That is what I’m going to
