Hello! Happy Monday, friends!  Cooper has Monday and Tuesday off of school so we’re enjoying some family time this week. Hopefully we will get to do a little family adventure.  Over the weekend we went to a crab dinner with my dad & friends and I painted the main wall in my office green.

I LOVE A FRESH COAT OF PAINT!

I’ve been in a cooking rut for the past few months.

I’m hoping to turn it around with some playtime in the kitchen.

Anything you’d like to see? How can I help? Wanna point me in a direction? HELP.

Happy Monday, friends!

Did you have a good weekend?

I hosted breakfast with friends on Saturday after a long week of working through my clutter at home with my stylist friend Jessica. It was quite an exhausting process but we DID IT! And my house has clear surfaces and hardly any piles! Putting energy into one place means that energy is taken out of other places. This means I have so much laundry to catch up on, but it’s cool. I’ll put on a podcast and work through the pile. I also have one last paper pile to tackle. I’ve been putting it off for far too long. Maybe we can all agree to clear out something this week.

What’s causing you the most stress in your house right now and what can you do about it???

Now that I have an intentional space to write/art/play, I feel ready and prepared to get some work done this week. What about you?
