Moody home inspiration, living authentically, & embracing your weird

Keep it stylish and simple with Comfort Works slipcovers

I walked into the living room the other day and found the girls watching Frozen 2, munching on Doritos and sipping chocolate milk. That's the life, am I right? You bet it is (if you're the two and five year old). However, if you're *me* you feel a ping of dread watching countless orange, powdery crumbs raining into every crevice, nook, and cranny of that deep seat sofa (is it time for wine, yet?) with dribbles of chocolate milk spattering every whichaway. If there is one thing I know, it's mess. ... VIEW POST

Raise them to love the unloved things

...raise children who love the unloved things... I've always had a knack for seeing the beauty in things that might otherwise seem repulsive -- cupping roving spiderlings in my hands to escape quick-footed spider-squashers is what I do (everyone keeps a tarantula under their bed in college, right?).

We made the mistake of buying a box of assorted chips from Costco and I've been on a Cheeto binge for daaaaaaays (I've even had cheesy dreams, guys). Anyway, my love of ghost stories and cheesy snacks has little to do with this post, so, we move on (let me just go grab a refill on the Cheetos, though.....). I've recently pieced together a moody ... VIEW POST

Take me to the Trees: Finding Peace in Nature

Part 1 They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - present a piece of art to a crowd of a hundred people and you'll receive mixed reviews. We all have biases that impact how we react to the world - how we see beauty. Even so, I've found that nearly every soul I've known has (at one point) been awed by the beauty of nature. Take me to the trees, finding peace in nature - is a series dedicated to my moments captured outdoors and how they heal my soul. I hope this ongoing series will inspire ... VIEW POST
