My Intentional Spring Wardrobe Reset
This year, I’m approaching spring differently. It’s a new season in a year that’s been interesting, to say the least. A lot of families are feeling the financial burdens in their lives right now. The job market is insane and worse than in 2009. Inflation is a nightmare. The thrift stores are acting like millionaires’ estate sales.

Spring Garden Goals & What I Hope to Grow This Year
Being raised in the PNW has taught me a lot about forestry, recycling, and, strangely, weather patterns. Maybe it’s because we’re always under a cloud of rain out here, which is exactly why everything is so lush and green. But…

Solo female travel in Amsterdam is an absolute dream – and after four visits, I finally have the honest, unfiltered guide I wish I’d had the first time. I love this wonderful little city. It’s filled with darling narrow homes,…
Rebuilding My Routine One Slow Morning at a Time
This winter really knocked me out of my routine. Between a three-week sinus infection, the heaviness that always seems to come with winter, and starting my yoga teacher training, I felt completely out of my norm. Add in the fact…

My Solo Trip to Amsterdam: First Impressions + Where I Stayed
What?! A travel post?? I know – it’s been a minute. But I recently realized I never actually wrote about many of the cities I visited when I quit my job three years ago, and since this blog doubles as…
Starting 200+ Hr Yoga Teacher Training
Doing something new and different is always a little scary. Telling people about it tends to make it more real. So, I’m mildly panicking while typing this out, but I’m also incredibly proud of myself because two weeks ago I…
Gentle Self-Care When You Catch a Winter Cold
I was supposed to have a post up on Monday, but instead I ended up with one of those head colds that absolutely takes you out. So today’s post is coming straight from bed, surrounded by TP and lemon ginger…
Homemade Pizza Night: A Simple Valentine’s Day at Home
This is kind of a funny little blog post for me because I never celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s not because it’s an absurd holiday (though… maybe a little). It’s mostly because no one really knows what they’re celebrating, which is…
Little Things I’m Excited About This Week
We’re going with a very old-school prompt this week, friends. I don’t know – the world feels so heavy all the dang time these days, and I hope you don’t mind. I’ll get back to my full-fledged blog posts next…
What’s in My Winter Toiletry Bag
I’ve been excited to write this post for a while because, to be frank, I’ve become a pro at packing since my boyfriend and I are all over the state all of the time. We’ve upped our domestic travel and…
