I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

One of my favorite things in the world is laying in bed on a weekend night watching Netflix movies while my Hunter and my Ro nap next to me and I scroll Instagram home design and wellness accounts as well. This is particularly enjoyable after an extra long week, I might add. I feel calm and giddy alike throughout this downtime. I am able to relax and unwind, often taking mindfulness breaks and enjoying a komboocha or lemon water simultaneously. It couldn’t be any more basic. This recharge makes me naturally happy creating reflection and gratefulness for everything in my life. I’m a hard worker with determination and I like to reach goals and make new ones so I feel like I’m on more than I’m not. I need to reset like this because it reiterates what it’s about most at the end of the day; health, happiness, and an attitude of gratitude. What is your approach to bring it all back to center?              ...

We all need a little reboot sometimes and I am no different. I have a few things that always put a fresh pep in my step: -A new lipstick-bright and wildly colored usually -a komboocha or a cup of matcha green tea, depending which ice already at the time of said needed reboot in the day -journaling ideas or making a list of to-do’s, both for necessities and for aspirations. Writing is still my numero uno and it’s centered me since I was a kid. Don’t see this one going anywhere. -recalling my 10 areas of meaning I’ve decided on -cuddling my Roni girl. She is the sweetest, most ferocious fur baby and she gives absolute love -walks, I love getting out and doing a quick stroll or longer as time permits -getting into bed and enjoying cozy blankets and a good show -reciting a few positive mantras I hold dear I’m simple in my approach to a lot these days. These things I do to remind myself of that mentality are just the fix I need to rekindle my passion and fire for o...

What I love about Sundays.   I'm making lists for the week aka my zen, happy place, while hunter and the girls enjoy rest.   Roni's little fox face popping up kills me. Lists are the best part of my week.   Or at least the cornerstone, the backbone, the push I need.   As much as I enjoy making lists I enjoy crossing items off even more. Getting ready for the week ahead with a guideline checklist for all of our agency's clients helps me enter Mondays with ease and strategy, saving grace for when things go off list. I also made out a Christmas gift idea list.   My goal is to really simplify gift giving by going with a less is more approach.   I would like to provide meaningful experience type gifts like passes to a children's museum or tickets to a performance for our niece and nephew for example.   We've done the bunch of toys route before so it'll be fun to mix it up. Back to Sundaying, pasta and veggies coming right up! ...
