Using a word to guide me through the year has been a really interesting exercise over the past 5 years (5 years! How in the world have 5 years flown by since I started this?!?!) In addition to choosing one word to ground & guide me through the calendar year, I started using Powersheets last […]

Sweet girl, You’re 3!!!! I can’t believe it’s already (past) time for another letter… This year you were so much more aware that your birthday was coming, and it just cracked me up that during your party, it didn’t click that we were celebrating your birthday until we brought out the cake…. and then you […]
One of my yearly bucket list items this year is to learn to watercolor. Outside of reading/listening to audiobooks & spending time with family, I’ve realized that I don’t really have a hobby. Photography is a passion, but it’s also a business for me, so while I absolutely LOVE it (and always will), I have […]
I can’t believe it is already my 5th year of creating Yearly Bucket Lists to remind me to fill my life with moments – both big & small – that fill my heart up. 5 years of trying to be more intentional about what my to-do list looks like, and trying my best to balance […]
4 years ago, I decided that I was tired of life getting too busy for things that fill me up. From big things like trips away with Max to little things like living room forts, reading books, or trying something new, I wanted a way to remind myself to make time for really living in […]
Sweet girl, Here we are on your 5th birthday, and I’m not quite sure I have the words to describe you… Your personality just keeps getting bigger & bigger, and so does your heart. Last night as I was putting you to bed, you asked me if we could share our highs & lows for […]
The music began softly & slowly, and then started to build just as it has time & time again. It’s a song I’ve heard – and sung – hundreds of times. It’s on playlists I’ve created and plays regularly on the radio station that’s on in my car 99% of the time. It’s moved me […]
My word for this year is “intentional” & I have absolutely loved seeing how focusing on being more intentional has positively impacted my daily life. One of the items I’d included on my Yearly Bucket List for this year was to keep a happiness journal again. I’ve done this before & it’s been a really […]
I pulled into the garage with a backseat filled with grocery bags at the same time my mom pulled up to our house with Peanut & Pumpkin in the car with her. As I pulled the key out of the ignition & opened my door, I could hear the girls’ squeals as they ran up […]
Moment – This app is a game-changer! It tracks the amount of time you spend on your phone, what apps you’re using the most, and how many times you pick up your phone each day. Seeing the amount of time you’re spending looking at your phone can be tough, but it’s eye-opening! Think about that chunk of […]
