“What if I fall? Oh, my darling, but what if you fly?” This quote has been one of my favorites during my current journey. What’s incredible about this quote is that it is taken from a short poem written by 19 year-old poet, Erin Hanson. Proof that even at a young age, we can inspire…

B. Organized – Declutter + Destress
We are well into that holiday season and if you are like me, you may have discovered (while putting away the Halloween décor and getting out the Harvest décor) that a good amount of stuff you are storing may actually be junk (yes, junk!). Sometimes those plastic storage totes in our basements, under our beds…
(Re-Post) It’s Summer Time!
It’s Summer Time! My thoughts on the hottest, juiciest season about a year ago. With love & light, enjoy!
Fashion Crush: Style Meets Art
I don’t know about you, but Spring ushers in the need to refresh the closet scene. It’s a great time to purge, donate and figure out what pieces are needed for the season. I love to make a ‘must have’ list to shop from and then ad lib from there. Today’s blog is more or…
In Le Jardin!
Do you have a green thumb? It’s about that time of year where yard and garden envy begins. There’s nothing like a well manicured lawn and bonus points if you maintain a garden of any sort. As a person who aspires to eat homegrown, the idea of growing my own fruits, vegetables and herbs is…
Rebirth: Spring is Here
Happy Spring & Happy Easter, my friends. Oh, how I delight in the budding plants and flowers as Spring peeks it head out after an icy, cold and wet winter. The blog is undergoing lots of changes so we’ll continue our conversation on color through April as well as tackling Spring cleaning, quarterly purging and…
Something Old, Something New: Happy 2015
This time is of year is always full of mixed feelings for me. The rich anticipation of the new year is arched by a slight melancholy towards the ending of the old year. All the resolutions, to-do lists and goals of 2014 are either restfully satisfied or hang in the balance waiting to be completed. The new…
Breathing Space
I am a long time reader of O, Magazine founded by the incomparable Oprah Winfrey. One of the features I have always looked forward to in the magazine is the full page spread titled Breathing Space. It’s not a story or feature article. It is always simply a high resolution image of heavenly scenery or landscape…
It’s Summer Time!
Dear Readers– It’s been so long! This is possibly the longest break I have taken from the blog. But, all is well. I am settling into a new phase and journey of life and it’s the greatest gift. As a new wife and step-mom, I am finding my groove and discovering new things about myself…
In Full Bloom!
Well, it has been quite a ride as we made our way through the New Year, abnormally cold weather, school closings and all sorts of twists and turns! As the weather starts to warm up (fingers crossed) and the plants ever so slightly start to bloom, we should take this time to jump start ourselves….
Let’s Start Together
Happy New Year! Everything is brand new again. I simply love the feeling of a fresh start and a chance to do everything better. If you are like most people, you’ve made a list of goals or resolutions to fulfill by year’s end. And if you have lived long enough, you probably realize that all…
Sweet November
The Fall season has officially set in. We’ve gained an hour in time, the leaves are at their peak color and we are anticipating all of the hustle and bustle that the holiday season will bring. November is basically the last month to sort out any goals or deadlines that you may want to complete…
