I love the cross-over among small-business owners and I especially appreciate a common passion. I wrote this blog post to share on the Creating Clear Spaces Blog. My friend, Missi, owns Clear Spaces Organizing and I have found her approach to decluttering homes just speaks to me. Her interest is helping clients to bring practical [...]
Create the things you wish existed From the depths of your precious soul. Bring your ideas to the surface Then give them space and love to grow. Don’t you water down your wisdom. Let your dreams run wild and free. Create with meaning, love, and impact. You are the one who holds the key To [...]
Today I sit, in an oversized chair, looking out a window. I am comfortable out of the elements of this day where the "feels like" temperature is 105 degrees in Minnesota. Yes, Minnesota. Ironically, the wool blanket I ordered from Faribault Woolen Mill, a few months back, arrived today. I will share about that when [...]
For Seasonal and Holiday Decorating I didn't always decorate this way. This method of trimming my home has evolved over time and I only just recently gave it an official name. The Everything Basket! It makes me so happy! Using this approach for seasonal and holiday decorating will bring in a cost-effective and Storied result. [...]
Summer just looks different. There are many festivals, camps, trips to the cabin, and yard projects to keep us busy. It can seem like a race to fit it all in, yet in many ways, life slows down. Is it the work week that seems to be three days long? Is it cooking on the [...]
I was given a second chance to select a name for this spot on the internet. I discovered the original name was taken and I took that as a sign to dig deeper. Being intentional in today's face-paced, instant-gratification world is so important to me. What was this thing I was trying to do and [...]
Somewhere between the fourth and fifth 85-plus degree day, I reach for an iced tea rather than my usual coffee. I am a hot coffee gal and although in winter I cannot imagine the day when I turn away from a warm mug, it inevitably happens. National Iced Tea Day is June 10th each year, [...]
The Feast Nearby I came across The Feast Nearby by Robin Mather much the same as many other things, on social media. I didn't initially know what the title of this book meant, but I had my inklings. Could the title have to do with eating local food, food that was seasonal? My guess was [...]
I recently posed this question to my readers and followers. Which is harder for you when decorating? 1. Knowing what you want and not being able to find it. 2. Not knowing what you want and having so many options. The responses were pretty much 50-50, so here are some ways to make decor decisions [...]
Give Yourself a Dose of Vitamin Blue I am pretty certain we're getting to the end of winter, but it seems to be exiting rather slowly this year. The Groundhog saw his shadow AGAIN and Texas saw 80 year record low temperatures. Texans are not made for that and Minnesotans may be saying "enough is [...]
