life’s simplest pleasures and life’s greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
After a delightful trip to our local Farmer’s Market this weekend I was inspired to make soup! I am a total soup lover and want to be good at making it. I’m always trying my hand at new recipes and editing them to suit our taste. I like thin, brothy soup and my hubby likes […]
It’s easy to let the hustle and bustle get the better of me, or the nagging to do list, and feeling the need to “get it done” to creep in and take over. Instead I am focusing on being present in our lives. Currently I’m reading a book by Shauna Niequist called “Present Over Perfect” […]
I think I’ve said this before but fall is my favorite season! Often when asked if I have a favorite season I say I don’t… And then I say “it’s the change in seasons that is my favorite time.” But if I had to pick only one season it would be fall. I love the […]
What helps you feel put together? Is it a shower? Doing your makeup? For me this has looked different over the years and has changed as our family has grown. I can feel “put together” without washing my hair, but brushing my teeth and putting on my makeup makes the cut. I feel “put together” […]

Called GoDaddy, at least they are easy to contact, and they’ve never seen the problem before. (The spent a long time brainstorming with me, but to no avail) Can you help? I’m totally exhausted […]
Homemade piñata’s were a common part of my childhood. 🙂 My mom often made them with us in preparation for our annual “pumpkin party” that happened each fall. Ours was typically a jack-o’-lantern and was a central piece of this big social event each year. I’ve never seen it done… at least not since my […]
You guys….. I did it! I completed the 21 day fix and reached my goals. When I set out on this adventure my goals were not numeric and not easily measurable, but I accomplished them and more! Take a look at some insights through my second half of the journey, glean some insights and stay […]
So here are five things that went well today… 1. The boys are loving the new arrangement of the playroom. (And not noticing the things I got rid of.) They are playing more with their imagination and I love that. 2. I got the kitchen and living room cleaned up. 3. New Jamaican Spice Candle […]
