Merry Christmas!
There are so many things coming at us right now: ads, deadlines, outside pressures, internal pressures, house prepping for guests, planning and packing for travel… I almost decided not to send anything out this month. But, I’ve found a few ways to keep my December slow and simple, so thought I would share to encourage…

Chill out, it’s Christmastime!
We’re keeping a low profile this holiday season. We planned on it ahead of time, knowing that we were due with our little turkey right around Thanksgiving. But add in multiple extra doctor’s visits for me and baby and unexpected hospital stays for me, and let’s just say, we are all exhausted! I do believe…

Goodbye, Dream Home.
After Prudence died, my husband and I started planning a future together that prioritized what really mattered to us. We no longer wanted all the stress and responsibilities of owning and operating businesses in our small town. We didn’t want our lives to continue the way we had been going so far – my husband…

Never Giving Up
So here I am, a year and a half into my marriage, struggling with just about every aspect of my life, and now I’m grieving the loss of my pregnancy, worried that I might never have the chance to have a baby. We moved into a new home at this time, too, that was crazy…

Simplicity isn’t just about having a minimalist home.
This story picks up from where I left off in my last post. If you want to start from the beginning, check out Back to the Real Me. The more I simplify and get rid of everything weighing me down, the more I realize that I’m getting back to my true self. I’m not just…

What if we could create the most magical Christmastime ever this year? I think we can. Check out what I’m doing less of and what I’m doing more of this Christmas (and beyond).
