All is calm, all is bright.

My favorite time of day during the Christmas season is the evening. (Well, anytime after the sun sets, which seems to be before 5:00 pm this time of year, as we head to winter solstice!) My home is all aglow... Continue reading

Looking good isn't necessarily the most important thing.

In our world of instagram Joanna Gaines farmhouse kitchens, I find myself lusting after the kitchenaid mixers sitting on the counters of everyone's kitchens. They are now available in so many colors that I cannot keep up, and each new... Continue reading

The busiest time of the year.

December, that is. Not only do we have the Christmas season, (which for me mentally begins every Thanksgiving evening, after the day with family eating way too much, and I am home, in my jammies) but my family also has... Continue reading

Lists and organization.

That is what one of my incredibly type A personality best-friends told me I am lacking. And I am quite sure she is correct. I was sharing all of my frustrations with her surrounding my disorganized daily routine, including, but... Continue reading
