Read MoreHome for the Holidays: Halloween 2022
This year I decided I wanted to add some Halloween specific decorations to the fall/pumpkins I’ve had traditionally.

Read More2021: Discipline
Like many of you, I have a word of the year, however I never share my word until the end of the year. 2021: Discipline. A word I wasn’t too thrilled with at the beginning of the year. One I didn’t know how it would impact my year, but here’s a few reflections on this…
Read MoreHolidate: Christmas 2021
With a wedding on the calendar and plan to see family in the same weekend, we decided to make it a little getaway date together in between. I think it’s important to take time away together, and it’s been fun to do that in the midst of the holidays two years in a row, maybe…
