Do you ever picture something you want and when you go to find that thing you can't? It doesn't exist, you just designed your perfect item and then were crushed to discover you could not, in fact, purchase that item? That happens to me all the time. You'd think someone would have offered me some... Continue Reading →
Yes. There you go, mystery solved! A new grocery store opened near our house and I am counting down the days until I reach peak immunity and can venture inside. I'll be wearing a mask of course, but I don't know if the store is requiring them for all guests and our governor has removed... Continue Reading →
If I dreamt of being an actress, I'd be going about the business of fame by hanging around soda shop counters and hoping to be discovered for just sitting and sipping.

I am not an expert on Minimalism, first and foremost. My life is not a textbook example of living with less, and while some people box up their excess stuff overnight and live their lives as minimalists starting the next day, that is not my story. Growing up, my family moved about every three years.... Continue Reading →
It's finally time for us to embrace the season and throw off the side-eye from our neighbors with strict rules about decorating before Thanksgiving! The Christmas season is officially here, whether it's secular or religious for you and your family, because if you don't celebrate the birth of Jesus, you can celebrate the birth of...
