I’ve been slowly but surely working through Lara Casey’s PowerSheets, and I’m glad I didn’t rush through them. At first, I thought about rushing to get them done so I could start the monthly tabs in January. I know I would have regretted that in the long run! Slowing down helped me to be more… Read More My 2014 Vision Statement
Are you a tea fan? I certainly am. I love loose teas because I think they’re so pretty, and I like the time it takes to measure the leaves, scoop them out, and use delicate, special equipment to brew them. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the time (or the interest) to go through this process… Read More Stash Tea Review

It helped give me focus and purpose, and I could keep the entries short if I didn’t… Read More Keeping a Gratitude Journal
Aren’t farmers markets wonderful? I’m working on finding happiness and gratitude in the little things, and farmers markets are perfect for lifting my spirits and helping me appreciate local farmers and their produce. My husband and I spent last Saturday morning at a farmers market and our local CSA. We had such a great time… Read More Farmers Markets
My one little word for 2014 is intentional. I want to live more intentionally. Truth be told, I used to chuckle or roll my eyes when I would see bloggers write about this because it didn’t make sense to me. But now that I’ve had this trying time in my life, I’m starting to get… Read More One Little Word: Intentional
I’ve toyed around with the idea of blogging for a few years now, but I kept putting off starting a blog because I was paralyzed by perfectionism. I turned 30 a few weeks ago, and I’ve decided that this decade is going to be about present over perfect, and I hope to use this blog… Read More Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?
