Image Source As we usher in a fresh, new year, I cannot help but reflect on the one that has past. While my husband and I were fortunate to purchase our first home in 2018 (a true highlight), and bring our puppy home to stay with us, other aspects of the year were far less […]

A Few Of My Favourite Things ~ No. 8
Image Source Well, my friends, long time, no post. As many of you may have seen via Instagram (or gathered by the lack of blog posts), I fell out of love with blogging for a moment. Most of that can be attributed to a difficult few months for myself and my family; however, that […]
Nightstand Necessities: Part One
What is the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning, and the last thing you see before you go to sleep? Good guess, but no, I’m not referring to the love of your life. I’m talking about your nightstand! Given that we begin and end our busy days in bed, our […]
Change Tastes Good
Change – that scary, six-letter word that for many immediately evokes a sense of unease. Unfortunately, no one is immune to change – we all must endure it from time to time. Take me for example. Recently, I walked into my local Starbucks, and just as I have done for months, asked for my “regular” […]
A Few Of My Favourite Things ~ No. 7
Image Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favourite things.

A Few of My Favourite Things ~ No. 6
The last time I shared my favourites, it was a cold, grey day in March, and I was anxiously awaiting Old Man Winter’s departure. Well, eventually (it took some convincing) he did leave, and now here I sit, ready to share my current favourites with you before taking time to enjoy the last weekend of […]
Make Your Bed, Change Your Life!
One would be hard-pressed to find a resource on organization, fostering positive habits, and productivity, that did not highlight the benefits of making one’s bed. In fact, one of my earliest blog posts – The Pursuit of Tidy ~ No. 1 – discussed this very thing (please try to contain your shock). The act of […]
Spring Clean Your Life
“Spring cleaning isn’t just about sorting through things, and getting rid of clutter. It’s about taking stock of who you are, and how others see you. It’s a chance to redefine yourself, to change expectations, and to remember that it’s never too late to recapture who you were, or to aim for where you want to be.” ~ […]
