    Hello, dear reader. I hope your Tuesday has been absolutely lovely so far! It’s election day here in the United States, and I’m so curious to watch the coverage later.

    Creating Calm through Mindfulness

    Mindfulness. It’s a practice I’ve integrated into my life that I simply love. As a busy mom, my mind is constantly being pulled in different directions. There’s a lot going on inside of my home!

    I’m so glad it’s October. I really feel like the air becomes more fall-like where I live during this month, and I can tell my body wants to slow down. I’m going to listen to it. If you feel the same nudge, why don’t you also? Since the Autumnal Equinox, I’ve tried to embrace the…

    Ah, home. We just returned home from my daughter’s birthday celebration, and we were welcomed by the Mockingbird’s song and sparkling twilight. The ground shone with moisture, and I promise my plants grew while we were gone. I felt like taking a big ol’ contented sigh while I settled back into our home. Plans always…

  • No. 1: Notes from Home | Cultivating a Beautiful Home & Life

    The rain is falling yet again at our home as I type. The world around us has turned green! For me, this is “Green Season.” In the winter, we have a small mountain view which disappears when the leaves begin to bud. So I tend to gauge time by “Mountain or Green Season” around here.…
