Last week at this time, I was packed into a jeep with my husband and our good friends, along with a car load filled-to-the-brim with anything and everything we might possibly need on our camping trip in the U.P. I can’t help but smile as I think back. Life stood still for a few days, and it was glorious, but all good things must come
Well folks, we have arrived! Today is our last day on this whole30 adventure. In T-8 hours Chase will be having his ever anticipated non-whole30 midnight snack, a well deserved one at that! I am mostly just amazed that he managed to go without all the things for 30 whole days! (pun-intended) We even made it through 4th of July celebrations, birthday parties and family gatherings without
Over half of my wardrobe is gone, and it feels really good. I’m serious. As you read in my last post about becoming a minimalist, you know that there have been some significant changes in the size and quality of my wardrobe as of late. For example, instead of having a closet of 200+ items and two full dressers packed in tight; I now have a
The other night I was congratulating Chase on making it through day 7, one whole week! His response was, “Can we just not talk about it.?” Ok, I get it. All I can say is that he loves me something fierce and he’s also not a quitter. Overall I think we are managing pretty well. We’ve survived the moody days, and utter exhaustion from last
Well Hello there, and HAPPY Saturday! I thought today might be a good day to share with you, how this whole wardrobe re-do came about and where I am in the minimalist process so far.

Well, we have made it two whole days now on the whole30 and so far so good. Here are a few things I am learning/observing so far. -I like to cook! It isn’t that I haven’t cooked in the past, it’s just that the whole meal planning/”what sounds good to you?” thing has been overwhelming to me in the past. With so many options, I
Well, somehow three whole months passed me by without a single post. So in an attempt to feel “caught up” on our life happenings in the past fewmonths I decided to post pictures. Welcome to the fun For Valentines Day I told Chase I would plan this year…A
“SNOW! It’s here!!!” Yes, this is what came out of my mouth as I woke up Saturday morning. The first true, roof top-lined, grass-covered snow fall of the season and all at once I was a kid again, filled with amazement! I do love the beauty of each new season and the refreshed joy it brings. In a few short weeks, I will be craving
OH HOW I LOVE THEE FALL… If you know me even a little bit, you probably know that I LOVE fall! Something within me just bubbles over when I see the colors of leaves changing, and the sound of leaf blowers going, or sipping my very first pumpkin spice latte of the season! Ahh…I could go on and on about all of my favorite fall
My week in One word would be “overflowing” Yes, that’s just what it would be. Even as I sat down to begin this post, I had my water cup under the fridge water dispenser and TOTALLY forgot I had it there….needless to say, all I could do was laugh to myself as I was cleaning a LARGE puddle of water up from the floor.
