I'm on a long and ongoing journey to reduce the amount of clothes in my wardrobe. It started over a year ago when I had to empty my entire walk-in closet for some work that needed to be done. I moved all of my clothes temporarily in the basement and categorized th...

I have found myself in somewhat of an unfamiliar territory in the last several months. Lots of changes have happened in my family's life. Some changes were very welcome, some not so much. Life is funny that way. It's always a mixed package of good and bad. Many things...

I had so much fun taking photos for Wooden Ships sweater company! We got so many great shots, I decided to share all of them in a post, since I’ll have a hard time picking a favorite for my Instagram feed. Wooden Ships is a family-owned-and-run company that makes...
